    Dear lenders,
    I have resolved to leave this borrower for the next VM to follow up on. My efforts have been unfruitful for about a year now.
    I have already alerted Zidisha on the same. Systematic challenges only have delayed my replacement to take over my responsiblity here.
    Thank you.

    VM Shehi.

    I phoned Kambi today at 7.40am . He says he had gone to his countryside for a while.
    Now that he is back in Mtwapa town, he will restart repayments.

    I phoned Kambi today at 11.20am . Still he is complaining that since he closed the video show business he has no income. I told him that he should be sending even small amounts to repay but he is totally making no effort repaying. He is one of my difficult assigned borrowers. He is very frustrating!

    I phoned Kambi today 5.15pm. He says he spent most of his savings on treating his ailing relative for better part of last year. The relative unfortunately passed on. He is however now back to business and expects to re-start repayment soon in small amounts.

    Hello zidisha am so sorry that i have missed several instalments in my loan repayment mode. i actually had family problems which resulted to closing my business. My father had been ill for more than a half a year all this time i being the only family rescue while atending my father too, to make it worse my dad never waked up ftpm his sick bed!!! This has been a big problem since am now responsible of the whole family with my young sister doing her KCSE this year other two brothers in primary school!!! am so sqeesed that i could not manage as i earlier promised. due to this i would like to slash my repayments so that i could at least send in the payments any way. Thank you so much for your patience in the long silence. may God bless you.

    Hello to all my lenders and the entire zidisha cmmunity. I really have been so worried about mt past hard business situation, i had been worried because i have the pending loan balance, and yet still need your financial help. It really kept ringing in my head and the fact that i could no longer reschedule, i really was so much afriad of the situation. But am now very happy that the soccer season has resumed and business has started picking up again. A good sign that i will be in a position to clear my loan balance in the shortest period possible. I thank God for the way the business has now started to show good hopes. Thank you once again for your patience and may God bless you.

    Hello, my dear lenders, am sorry i have been so silent in repaying my loan, this was because i have been facing some difficulties with my video cafe business because, i solemnly depend on soccer and since the season had come to an end making my payments was abit difficulty on my side. The season has now resumed giving me full force in sending my repayments.In regard to this i will start this weekend sending in my repayments as we have good matches this weekend. I want to make the payments within the shortest period possible so i get to the next level, i really need to my business more valueable by getting a bigger screen t.v which will add more value to my business.But i have to work hard and finish my balance as soon as possible. Once again i thank you so much for your patience. May God bless you.

    Dear Andrew,

    Hope all is well on your side, your family is healthy and that the rainy season does not too much trouble to your business.
    I have a question since you are the mentor of a number of Zidisha member who I lend to: do you know how Beatrice Kafedha, Kaona Rombosha, Zeina Mwango and Raphael Gongo are doing? I have not heard from them since April.
    Please give my regards to Stephen Karisa and thank him for the reimbursements he has done.
    Best,

    Richard

      Hello, i managed to meet Kaona Rombosha he complained of having a sick child and this kept him from his business activities and this resulted to the long silence in his loan repayment. He promised to work on the situation soon enough though he did not mention exactly when he will make his payments. Am looking forward to visit Zeina Mwango, Raphael Gongo and Beatrice Kafedha, I have a big deal meeting these members because they are far away from where iam and i dont get them by phone. I plan to visit them soon as i get free time.

    Hello zidisha i had a few repairs in my video cafe that made it hard for me to have the required amount by the expected date and for this reason i would like this little favor so that i organise my payments without any difficulties. I will be so grateful and be ready for the payments by that time. I will be so happy as my business is doing well only because i did the repairs but i hope to finish my payments even the due date. Thank you once again.
