Hi Jacob, your loan is scheduled to be repaid in full next month, but you haven't made any payments yet. Are you able to make payments soon? Late payments are better than no payments.

If you are having difficulties making payments, please talk to your Zidisha mentor to determine a plan to repay your loan.

Hi lenders, Jacob has opted to cancel the loan due to misunderstandings on the loan deductions and therefore i am working with him to ensure he cancels and reapply for a better loan option. VM

i will buy 1 sewing machine at 27000/= to create more workmanship and thus increasing production and also creating job for the jobless, materials for 10,000/= the more stocks i will have will make my customers fill they are in the write place and they will also have confident that even if they have an order my shop can be able to do it without strain. 8000/= will be for advertising and this will make me to be know in the town and have more customers since am targeting schools and the general gilgil population before i extend to nakuru county. The remaing 5000/= will be for safety for those customers who will come with the specified materials.
