Project Updates

Hallo my Zidisha family, the previous loan enabled me to acquire feed supplements for my dairy cows. Due to that my milk production increased leading to an additional income from the sales of milk.

This fund i will use it first to apply 2 licenses to continue allowing me to collect Garbage. 1 county government requires everyone collecting Garbage have this license which cost $180 yearly. 2 environmental body which is nationally environment management authority (nema) also requires me to have the license which cost $88 yearly. To me and my two workers while at work we must have a pair of gumboot ×3 costs 15, pair of groves ×3 cost $9, overall each cost $20×3. This will allow allowing to work stress free because i have done all this at once. The rest i will hire a truck which cost weekly $100 a whole day going house to house. I Thank all who has funded my loan, especially jesus figueres and Alex barocas may God bless you. I promise to pay back.

This is the farm at present. The rains are still on and we expect a good harvest.
Hello. The maize farm is doing great. The weeding has been done. I'm just waiting for the harvest. Thanks once for all the support my funders gave.

Thank you so so much for making my project come true. I'll pay for my gypsum supply which will yield a profit that will pay for home consumables and school fees

Thank you my lenders for my last loan. The funds helped me purchase more inventory for my business which in turn increased my production and I was able to fulfill more orders than before. I wouldn't have achieved that milestone without your kind help. Thanks again.

The money was of great help, I managed to plant vegatables and my farm is doing good.

I managed to own a shoe selling shop which I never had and have gained more customers than before but I would like to add more stock in varietie

I will buy coriander seeds(dhania seeds) which i will plant and harvest after 4 weeks.
I will use the funds to pay for my siblings school fees.
Thanks for funding my project

I have always wanted to introduce Macadamia and Hass avocado farming in my rural area of Makueni which is actually known for orange, mangoes, and lemons.I believe an introduction of these farm products in Makueni (especially the HASS AVOCADO) will be able to be beneficial to rural small and large-scale farmers who depend too much on Citrus fruit farming which does not have export potential. The Hass avocado products' largest buyers are the Chinese and the current tonnage from Kenya cannot satisfy the market. So there is potential for diversification and engagement.I will use the funds to study and engage with the county government of the Makueni Ministry of Agriculture and introduce HASS AVACADO seedlings.

Initially i had received funding from zidisha that assisted me to complete my studies. am now a graduate with bachelor of commerce. Thankyou for funding my project.

I will always be grateful for Zidisha community. At 28 years old, they took a chance on me and offered me an opportunity to get my first loan for my first business, which was purchasing clothing/bags for my online store, Alien youth designs. The profits I made from this business allowed me to purchase a one way bus ticket to Malindi because I worked online and needed a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Malindi is now home.
Thank you Zidisha.

I will use this money to buy raw material for soap production.
This will help me to boost my production capacity and increase supply of my products.
Thank you so much Zidisha team for making my project possible, I promise you that I will not disappoint you

I wish you much success. With your skills and knowledge you can achieve anything you put you mind to. May you have a happy successful business and life.

I bought sheep and i now have 59 sheep. I gave my brother 2 sheep and 1 to my mother. There is a time i sold 10 sheep and registered my brothers exam. when they become may i think of opening up a butchery.

I will invest in my farm, I will buy cow feeds and plant Napier grass this will increase milk production which I will supply and earn a living.

Dear backers thank you so much, I managed to pay my rentals on time. Your help is changing my life and I hope to get more help from you beloved ones.

Thank you for those who are willing to help, the business capital has increased & I can send my children to school this year :) Even the first child can go to college well, thanks all
