Hi lenders, am sorry for the delaying in paying the loan installment but it is because this month my child was going back to school for second semester and so I used most of my savings to pay the fee and buy her some school supply. I wish to request all lenders to be patient till next month is when I will start to repay but my businesses are doing good. Am grateful to you because through your funding, am in position to pay school fees to my children.

Hi Lenders,

Am grateful for supporting my business with loan because I am in position to meet my customers demand hence my income has drastically improved. My daughter performed excellent in her national primary examinations hence she has joined a national secondary school but the school fees is high thus all my savings have been channeled to the fees hence I will not be in position to pay in time during February 2014 but I will pay a week later as I work out on my business. Sorry for inconvenience and please understand my situation but I will ensure to repay in time the rest of the loan. My daughter had been selected for scholarship but due to corruption in our country she was not awarded thus stabilizing my plan.

My beauty business is grown as a result of the Zidisha loan, moral support from the Zidisha members, working hard and excellent customer care skills thus enabling me to generate more profits thus expanding the business and repaying the Zidisha loan. I am able to meet the cost of my family hence also improved their standard.

Thanks to all the Zidisha Members for having entrusted me with your money hence it has assisted me to expand my business and now I have been saving as I repay the loan and now I want to open another franchise in adjacent community because my business has built the name and once in a while I have been offering mobile beauty services but now it has come to establish a business in the community. I will not rely on the new franchise to repay the loan but it will come from the old business as I give time to the new franchise to grow. I want to establish an empire in beauty industry and also create employment for the local young people and above all give good education to my children.

Hey Lydia,
Some borrowers I send the money and never think about them again. You are not one of them. I even had an idea for the beauty shop. You know best of course and you do not have to be polite about my crazy ideas. If you gave facials you would stand out from the competition, add another profit opportunity and it has a low start up cost. You would need a curtain, thicker cream, very clean towels, hot water, cold water, small amount of sand, smudges (I like sage, mjujai). And someplace for a woman to lie down. I would be glad to get you the instructions and support if you are interested. Every woman loves a facial.

Here are some pictures of my single-mother daughter and my wonderful grandson.

Take good care of yourself and your children, Ann (namaste250)

• Lydia    May 22, 2013

  Dear Ann,
  
  Thanks for responding to my email hence I will try the idea then update you.
  
  best regards

    Wow Lydia,
    
    How exciting. I can't wait to see if it's successful. You'll have a full-service spa before you know it. I think that especially during the rain, women will value pampering.

Dear Lydia,

I get to save my money (smile). What a delightful note you sent. Please share with your new employee your great spirit. No woman should be totally dependent on a man. It always helps a beauty business when the owner is beautiful. Women will want to take advice so that they too can look like the owner. You provide a model that is beautiful inside and out, so I am sure you will be successful.

Best wishes for health for your children, success in your business and prosperity, Ann (namaste250)
