Hello Peter,
Do you have any news of Joan Wangui, a borrower you invited?

• Peter    Aug 18, 2015

  Yeah, actually I spoke with her last week. She promised to finish her repayment soonest. Maybe by endmonth. I do not understand what is this spirit of non repayment.. Mostly they say its labourious to post updates and repay weekly..This is the best community after microfinances and banks.. I wish I had an answer.

God has blessed us with plenty of rain.. I believe He has good plans..

Using the loan I have been able to plant more than 150 passion seedlings. The loan was a welcome supplement to my project.On our farm we have an average water well about 30feet deep. I intend to upgrade an existing borehole/well plumbing fixtures to facilitate irrigation during dry weather breaks. This will cost about 1000 Ksh. And thanks to Zidisha I have my dreams rolling.

This is just the beginning later i will have to buy pesticides and sprayer pump, foliage fertilizers so that my plants are healthy and productive. These will cost not less than 5000 Ksh, but a step at a time and I wont crumble.

My parents are happy with the progress much as Iam to see that which we missed(financial access without collateral) has been coupled with my finding a beginners job. I hope to do the best and God bless the work of my hands.

Using the loan and with the onset of the planting season, I have been able to lay manure in the ditches, bought 150 passion seedlings and already starting to put down them one by one. The loan was a welcome supplement to my project.

On our farm we have an average water well about 30feet deep. Soon I intend to upgrade an already dying boreholewell pump to facilitate irrigation during dry weather breaks. This will cost about 18000 Ksh. And thanks to Zidisha I have my dreams rolling.

Peter    Mar 23, 2015

The onset of the rains. With the easter break i hope to make the best out of it.

Peter    Mar 19, 2015

My dreams seem so much true now. Thanks for all the blessings this community has brought forth.

Peter    Mar 17, 2015

The rains starting soon. Thanks to zidisha I have all materials ready. Ploughing done just planting and waiting for the bloom.

Peter    Mar 9, 2015

Step by step, i was crawling soon i will be walking.

Peter    Feb 23, 2015

The planting seasn os near and the weather looks promising.

Peter    Feb 16, 2015

I have had to incur extra living expenses as I assisted my only sister to accommodate safely from my house to a place near her work place. With sincerity i hope to make this small installment on time this week plus that which I postponed during the expense period.

Ready to receive the first batch of seedlings from KARI--THIKA by the end of the month.

Peter    Jan 8, 2015

Received my loan, this service is very efficient and accountable. Now the job is mine to make it happen. Thanks.

Peter    Jan 5, 2015

A happy 2015 really it is. During the holidays I did a clean prunning on my trees. Thanks to Zidisha. Now my trees can grow stronger and beautiful. I could not get a good photo while up the shaky tree. 2015 has presented challenges to farmers in our county after an out break of necrosis attacking cereals crops. The county advises on alternative farming and I was already on a small project on passion fruit farming. These are hardy crops and yield well both in product and farm gate prices. I need some cash to buy quality seedlings from KARI each @ KSH 30. I will inter crop among the young trees and use cypress posts and rafters(from my pruning waste) to support the vine. Farming is tricky but I expect to give positive progress within 2 months of planting as this plant is very vigourous.
