Hello Ngunjiri,

Haven't heard from you in some time, and wanted to see how you were doing.

Message for Beatrice Kariuki:
Hi Beatrice,

You have missed all your payment schedules, havent made any repayment, no efforts and no communications from you at all.
How's your repayment reschedule going ?
Do you still have any efforts to repay or you'd like to run away ?
Hope to hear that you are fine and healthy.

Hello sir,

You are the mentor for David Mbugua.
We haven't heard from him since December.
Can you find out when he can make a
payment, and please let us know on his
page. Thank you.

Hi, I'm wondering what is the status of Daniel Muringithi? It lists you as his volunteer mentor. He has not paid any of his loan in a year and there has been no communication. Do you have any idea what happened to him?
Thank you for the update.

I am raising my concern for arrears once again. I wish to clarify that I paid Kshs 3000 on 10th February at 12:09 as per the Mpesa confirmation message EP79PR473. My account hasn't reflected that yet and I continue to receive messages of default. Kindly note I have never been in arrears and will not be any day coz I honour my commitments. Help address this issue to finality

Ngunjiri    Feb 13, 2014

Dear lenders, I paid KES 3000 on 10th February as per schedule, I dont have an idea why it is not reflecting but following up with Zidisha.

• mewesten    Feb 13, 2014

  It's good to follow up, Ngunjiiri. The volunteers are behind right now and the inputs are manual so human errors happen. They will be glad to find it for you.

    Hi Marvin,
    I am abit disappointed that my loan payment of Kshs 3000 made on February 10th still doesn't reflect. Kindly help me follow it up.

Hi, Sorry for the reschedule. Got short notice of a delayed payment and will now be paid next week, I desire to retain the same installments. I had traveled to the farm when I got the short notice and didn't have adequate time to organize myself for alternative means to get money to repay the loan and I'd hate to get into arrears. I regret every inconvenience suffered.

• mewesten    Jan 10, 2014

  Ngunjiri:
  Hello my friend, I'm glad you were able to reschedule to avoid being labeled as late.
  My best wishes to you and your work.

More photos of the run

Ngunjiri    Dec 18, 2013

Hi,
Some photos of the new chicken run. They are having a great time, especially the sun bathing!

Ngunjiri    Dec 17, 2013

Hi All,
Receive my appreciation for every support that I have received from each one of you that get to read this note. My second loan was disbursed on November 16, 2013 and was well utilized by fencing up a chicken run. I will be posting photos soon for you to see the progress. The chicken are about to start laying in the month of January 2014.
Watch this space for photos and updates. Stay very blessed!

Hello Zidisha community,
I want to send my warmest appreciation to the community for extending to me my first loan. I want to let you know that I am grateful and have finished repaying it. I needed it to top up for a poultry project that I was starting up. The project kicked off and is progressing very well. They are now 3 months old and I'll start reaping the benefits within 2 months. To Marvin (Mewesten), this is your project as well, you've kept following it up like your own. Kudos Bro! Thanks alot to all the Zidisha fraternity!
Regards
Ngunjiri

• mewesten    Nov 13, 2013

  I will support your next loan as well. I want to help you succeed and positively influence your community.
  My best to you,
  Marvin.

Hi,
My chicks turn 7 weeks today. Its been a great challenge and motivation too. Alot of learning and a very bright light at the end of the tunnel. Stay blessed!

Ngunjiri    Sep 23, 2013

Hallo Zidisha Family,
I am always obligated to drop a point or two every time I am online just to keep you posted on my developments. I borrowed from Zidisha to top up on a startup poultry project. I bought 300 day old chicks and they are doing very well, they are now in their 6th week and are growing tremendously. With this project, I can see total transformation not only in my life and that of my family but also the entire community around my farm.
Kudos to every lender in zidisha, you are transforming the lives of many!
Regards
Ngunjiri

• mewesten    Sep 23, 2013

  Good morning Ngunjiri,
  Very glad to hear that your project is on track. Always nice to hear from you.
  All in the Zidisha community were saddened at the news of terrorism in Nairobi yesterday. My condolences to all who lost family and friends there.
  It is an unsettled world with no end in sight. We can just do the best we can despite the violence.
  My best to you.
  Marvin

    Hi Marvin,
    Yea, it is indeed very sad for our country and city at this time. Thank you so much for your message of condolence. We have lost so many lives while others have suffered critical injuries. We continue to pray that those still held hostage by the captors will get out alive. The rescue efforts continue in earnest and the forces are now in control of the building amid fierce gunfire but there is great progress. We are hoping the exercise will be completed in a short while.
    Thanks alot for the concern
    WE ARE ONE!
    Regards
    Ngunjiri

On Friday 6th September, I vaccinated the chicks at 3 weeks for Newcastle disease. So far the project is going on well but confining me to longer hours in the farm away from the city. Had to come out today and fulfill my responsibilities as a Zidisha Volunteer Mentor of following up clients with arrears. They are just nice people facing challenges but ready and willing to meet their obligations. I empathise!

Ngunjiri    Sep 4, 2013

Hi Zidisha Family,
Its yet another vaccination week for my chicks as they turn 3 weeks. This Friday August 6, I shall be administering the second round of vaccine. This time its vaccination against Newcastle disease which is very common in poultry and highly lethal. I will be away in the farm for this crucial exercise for the next few days. I will keep you posted as we walk this journey together.
Regards
Ngunjiri

Ngunjiri    Aug 31, 2013

Yesterday 30th August (After 2 weeks), I administered the first vaccination for the chicks . This is a protection against a disease called GUMBORO (Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD). It is a viral disease affecting young chicken and has high mortality. The virus targets an organ called the Bursa of Fabricius; which is important in helping the young chickens develop their immune system.

Hi Zidisha family,
Sometimes I go missing in action from this page. I have a chicken project going on that was started with part financing by this lending community. The chicks (300 in number) were delivered to my farm on 16th August, prompting me to take a supervisory role at the farm during the initial stages of brooding. They are today 16 days old and have continued to grow well.
Regards
Ngunjiri
