    Hi lenders. I managed to get in touch with Evelyne. She is still struggling to get her business on track. She is positive that she will manage to get things back on track in the coming weeks.

    I managed to talk to Evelyne today. She is still juggling between motherhood and running her business. Things are yet to stabilize and she is positive she will be back on track with her business. She will be rescheduling her loan to an amount she can afford.

    Hi Evelyne,

    Hope you and your little one are doing well.
    May I suggest that you reschedule payments?

    All the best,
    Michiel

    Hi, this is Ian Mwangi and I am Evelyne's mentor. I've managed to talk to her this evening and she's back to work just from maternity. She's working at half pace as she has to take care of the newborn but business is starting to get back to normalcy and she will be catching with her repayments soon.

    Hi Evelyne,

    Hope you are well.
    Does your arrangement with the new supplier work out for you?
    Maybe you should consider adjusting the repayment schedule again and at least make some payment now as a show of good faith.

    Good luck!
    Michiel

    THERE WAS REDUCED SUPPLY OF SOME OF THE CEREALS DUE TO POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS HENCE DELAYING SALES AS WE HAD TO LOOK FOR OTHER SUPPLIERS AS THE PREVIOUS SUPPLIER WAS UNABLE TO MEET THE DEMAND ON TIME.WE WERE UNABLE TO ACHIEVE THE EARLIER GOAL OF INCREASING BRAND MIX AND MAKE OUR SHOP A ONE STOP SHOP.WITH THE NEW SUPPLIER WE ARE SURE WE WILL HAVE TIMELY SUPPLY TO MEET OUR CUSTOMERS DEMAND AND INCREASE OUR EARNINGS.
