    Hello dear lenders.Thank you very much for funding me this loan.Your support is unending and so much happy for you.
    My previous loan helped me a lot to boost my business and for this loan am hopeful to put in my investment to grow further.
    I will use part of this loan to buy cosmetic products including human hair varieties,body lotions and ointments, jewelries and neglaces among other products in my shop outgoing first and running out of stock.I intend to buy these goods amounting to a total of £50(ksh 50,000).This is a major source of my income as I use some of the profit to pay school fees for my kids and shop rent as well.
    For the remaining £70(ksh 70,900) I would like to put in my M-pesa line as float.This will enable my mpesa business to realize more clients turnout hence more transactions and more profit. Its also a good part of my business and part of the profit I get,to pay one of my employee who is working with me in the shop.I also use some of this money as a payment of myself,my kids basic needs and to pay house rent.
    Having achieved all these I hope my business will grow much bigger and will be able to pay my loan on time.
    Iam thank you so much and am humbled for lending me loan.

    Dear my lenders and zidisha team in general,I once again want to thank you for the much support you have been giving me since I joined you late last year in fact my life has changed a lot and I have learnt new things concerning my cosmetic and saloon shop.
    To highlight few i have learnt how to manage my business, how to handle my customers and to maximize profit, I have also learnt how to select my product according to customers needs and demand.
    This year i plan to get more customers by traveling and delivering my products to their destinations so that my customers get humble time to work and also to know their demands.
    I also plan to increase more stock so that my customers get what need at a right time and at good price.
    My future plan about my business is to open more branches and this still need more capital and so iam planning to complete my loan in few weeks and apply for another.
    Thankyou my lenders and may God bless you all.
