    Juddy is still at home and not going to work hence the late repayments. I advised her to reduce her amount further which she promised to do. I wished her all the best.

    I talked to Juddy. She closed down her shop due to the pandemic but she promised to pay something at the end of the week. I explained to her the need to reduce her amount of it's too much and also the benefits of repaying early. She promised to do all that. I wished her all the best

    Dear Lenders
    I am writing this to inform you on how i used my previous loan. The money i received was used as follows Ksh 50000.00 was used in buying more clothes. Ksh 100000.00 was used to add operating float for my Mpesa services and also in opening other banking agents like Equity bank agent, Co operative bank agents, KCB bank agent, family bank agents and more recently airtel money. With that diversification, it has increased my mark up by half from around Ksh 25000.00 to Ksh 50000.00. A third of the profit i usually plough it back to the business and the rest is used to meet my needs which includes paying rent, school fees and assisting in shopping since my husband is temporarily employed.
    Over the time several changes has happened in my family, this year august i was blessed with a baby boy thus now am having three kids.. My first born boy is now at class seven meaning in two year times he will be joining high school. This means i have to work very hard in order to be able to pay for his school fees.
    Besides all that my business is located just near Jomo Kenyatta International airport. There are lots of good hotel here suitable for holiday and i would request you lenders to pay us visit and yu will see the exciting and beautiful scenery around.
    I have applied for another loan and am looking forward for your support.
    Be blessed
