    How are you doing? Still waiting for quite a lot of money, that I had hoped to be able to relend to other Zidisha users.

    How are you doing, Joseph? I notice you made a repayment in 2020, on the old loan. That's very good, since then the money can go to others (as loans). Will you be able to resume repayments again?

    Is there any Zidisha representative who could visit Joseph and ask how he's doing? Repayments are very late.

    Dear lenders,
    Am great and doing well and hoping you are doing well too. My business is doing well too despite few challenges that the business faces here and there. I will not be able to send my monthly repayment for this month and I hope that i will catchup next month and on time. thank you very much.

    Hi lenders,
    I wish to inform you that I would like to extend my repayment for this month with two more months and I hope that this will all be well with you. This is because I have relocated my poshomill from where I was operating to another area and it has not started operating. It also did cost me alot to transfer the business and It is my hope that this time will be enough for me to resume my repayment again.

    Dear Lenders,
    I am grateful for coming this far with my second loan. Knowing the existence of Zidisha micro finance has been a blessing to me and this is the best opportunity that has ever happened in my life. The second loan has been of very great importance to me and thus wishing to have to repay my loan that is remaining during this month. The business is doing quite well and thus the returns are good. I hope to do much with the loan that I will be offered and thanks alot to Zidhsa.

    Hi Zidisha team. It is yet another good time I take this opportunity to wish you the best in life. Here in Kiptangwanyi I am fine and proceeding well with my business. The business has gone down a little because of the shortage of maize for milling. However, we still have some supplies from other neighbouring places which is keeping us going. That will be all for now. Have a good day.

      Thank you for the update Joseph, glad to hear everything is going well. Keep safe during the elections.

      And thank you for the timely repayments; I have already spent the money funding more Zidisha borrowers.
