    Thank you to all our Zidisha lenders who keep on helping us the borrowers with all efforts. After communicating with Allan via a phone call, it was great for me to hear from him about his repayment schedule being late. The reason for this is that he has faced so many challenges with the business where city council has ordered each and every business to have a license (Business Permit Certificate). He said because his business is still small he was not able to raise Ksh 18500($205)
    He is now looking forward to get the money so he can pay for a business permit and continue with his business, Am now after visiting him and also help in rescheduling his weekly loan repayments.
