    Hello Julia, it would be reassuring to know what happened to his family, it seems he left them back with no business and no income...

    Dear lenders,

    Mr. Wachira has not made a payment in almost one year. We learned from Pastor Kamau, the community leader who had signed a recommendation letter in support of Mr. Wachira's application to join Zidisha, that he had left his hometown of Kabati and moved to Nairobi in search of work. We established contact with Mr. Wachira in Nairobi, and learned that the farming business for which he had taken the Zidisha loan is now defunct, and he is struggling to make a living. Mr. Wachira made repeated promises to repay his Zidisha loan, but did not follow through, and he is no longer responding to our attempts to contact him, or to the contact attempts of his former church pastor who had recommended him to Zidisha.

    If we are able to make further progress in reestablishing contact with Mr. Wachira, we will post the news here. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments you may have.

    Best regards,

    Julia Kurnia
    Director, Zidisha
