Good morning Dear Lenders,
I am very much grateful to my cherished lenders for extending a helping hand of this loan support to me. I am also happy this morning that my loan has been fully funded. I have planned to use this loan facility to support the purchase of roofing sheets. I need about five packets of roofing sheets and at least the loan will be able to buy two packets of them. This loan facility will assist me to be able to roof my building which will house the caretakers of my poultry farm.
I would like to thank the Zidisha Organisation for the role of linking me to these dear lenders. Without the Zidisha, I would not have had the chance of meeting these lenders. Finally and more importantly, my dear lenders, I say a big thank you to you for your kind gesture and selfless assistance shown to me. May the Almighty God richly bless you. Thank you.

Dear lenders, am glad to share with you the achievements of the previous loan which enabled me purchase a good computer, install good internet, purchase good printers and even repaired my Konica Minolta MFP which is a very strong machine that does massive jobs. I am now able to provide clients with black prints/copies without a hitch. This has increased my revenue and now i can generate Kshs. 3000 per day and make good profits since i have less breakdowns and repair costs. My next next goal is to have digital color printing stability, and do away with small inkjet printers. Thank you so much lenders for the support.

hello I am a student who has a great desire for school, but it is constrained by the cost because my family is a very very simple family, many of my neighbors say why should school, people do not have the cost of work instead of school. but my determination is great for school I don"t care about my neighbors talking about me. At the core, I must go to school to be able to improve family living standards

Before making a loan I did not have any stock at home, I only made an order if there was an order coming in according to the wishes of the buyer, once I got a loan from Zidisha I started to stock things at home little by little ... thanks zidisha now my business is growing, I the easier it is to serve buyers because I now have a lot of stock at home. Hopefully my next loan will be able to get it again because now I need a tool to store my stock of goods at home so that they are more neat and clean, so my stock is no longer damaged, messy and dirty. Help me zidisha and funders. I will not disappoint you because my passion is very high to be a successful young entrepreneur.

Sebelum melakukan pinjaman saya tidak memiliki stok barang apapun dirumah, saya hanya melakukan order jika ada orderan masuk sesuai keinginan pembeli, begitu saya mendapatkan pinjaman dana dari zidisha saya mulai bisa stok barang dirumah sedikit demi sedikit.. terimakasih zidisha sekarang bisnis saya semakin berkembang, saya semakin mudah dalam melayani pembeli karena kini saya memiliki banyak stok barang dirumah. Semoga pinjaman berikutnya saya bisa kembali mendapatkannya karena sekarang saya membutuhkan alat alat untuk menyimpan stok barang jualan saya dirumah agar lebih rapih dan bersih, sehingga stok jualan saya tidak lagi rusak, berantakan dan kotor. Bantu saya zidisha dan pemberi dana. Saya tidak akan mengecewakan kalian karena semangat saya sangat tinggi untuk menjadi pengusaha muda yang sukses.

Here are photos of my shop and printers acquired through loans from Zidisha

Dear lenders, I am most happy to have paid my last installments today before the due date which is 24th August 2018. The loan helped me a great deal to achieve my goal of becoming a mass printing centre. I have managed to add printers and fully repaired my bizhub that now is working. My business is flowing smoothly. I have managed to sort out and establish black printing to a point where I can do mass clear printing without break downs since i have several printers on standby, if one breaks down, I have alternatives. This has asured me of a Kshs. 2000 ($20) minimum income per day. My children are going to school without school fees issues. My life has improved tremendously. My next step is to establish a digital color printing dominance in my market by acquiring Bizhub and Xerox color printers. I also need a photo printer that can do large photos of A4 size and even possibly A3. Thus I will have 3 categories of printing i.e Black, Color and Photo in commercial magnitude. Thank you so much lenders for having believed in me and my dreams that have now come true to be a successful printer. Thanks for elevating my life.

Today August 10, 2018, I have successfully made another loan repayment. On this occasion, let me say thank you to all my lenders and to Team Zidisha for your continuous support and for sustaining this vision. A special thank you to Director Julia for taking this initiative. Success can never be achieved unless someone like you, has the vision and desire to initiate it. I recognize and appreciate your dedicated efforts. God bless you all abundantly.

Dear Lenders if all Lending Instittution were like Zidisha in the world, No one was going to be poor over seas and the entire continent of Africa.The empowerment i have received from Zidisha is so great that i have established businesses in my country Zambia.Despite Business challenges am able to repay my steadily.However through Zidisha empowerment i have employed 7 workers working for me through expansion of my business and increased sales profits.I really thank you my renders for changing my life and that of family and children.May God richly bless Zidisha, the director Julia and the entire Zidisha team for making possible for us to have access of funds through Zidisha.

Thank you all my lenders. With this loan I will be able to do research for my masters degree studies and the remainder I will be able to buy building materials that I.want to use to start construction of a poultry house at my farm. Thanks to all my lenders, God bless you.

Hi, thanks so much to Zidisha lenders for your support in my farming business. I started with poultry and you've been there for me. The loan that I received was used to buying farm inputs and now my crops are very healthy and expecting good harvest this season.

Zidisha platform has been pivotal to my farming career having allowed me to source money for development. The last loan helped me put up a greenhouse and hence continued expansion. I hope to continue expanding my greenhouse project such that I can be in a position to reap consistent and more income. I, therefore, would like to thank my lenders for continued support.

Thanks to God and Zidisha especially my sincere lenders. Since Maxxy Saloon started operating from establishment till now you have been of great help to sustain clients and increase sales and profit. My previous loan was used to buy shampoo and other chemicals and new Brazilian hairs. It helped me give good service to my clients and increased my profit margin. I want to specifically use this loan to decorate and lay some new structures for my clients to relax as they wait in the line for their turn of service.
More over i have been using the profit for shampoos and other chemicals periodically as well as helping my siblings at the secondary school.

Thanks to Zidisha ones again for making life little easy for me and my siblings as we depend on the little profit we make from the Saloon weekly.

My previous loans really helped me complete my masters degree successfully, and I was able to manage my small shop of buying and selling toilet rolls, sanitary pad, varieties of soap and detergents. I was able to employ three permanent shop attendants and four causal workers that I pay them monthly.

I can confidently say through Zidisha, I now hold my masters degree.
Always grateful to lenders for their support.
