Thanks Zidisha family, i used my last loan to add stock to my business, examples envelopes, fullscaps and few beauty products, which made my business to pick during December holidays, because Kenya methodist university, school based programme was there, and beauty products were in demand during december, my business profit increased with 10%. so the profit i got i pumped it to my mpesa float so that i could get more commission, hence last month commission increased with 5%. although is little i thank God for the increament. other achievement of my family is that my first born son passed with flying colours and he was admitted to National school St Joseph secondary school in Kitale. And this holidays i will never forget it because we had great time with my sisters who came to visit me from nairobi, we were like tourist exploring Mombasa, it was so adventious

Thank you Joost. Thank you Zidisha. Zidisha made a difference in my life, in the presence of zidisha I can fulfill my wishes, I can help my parents and I can give jobs to others, even if only one person, but at least I can help others. This is the SUOES Cake and PUDING. Make a hygienic and flavorful cake. I take advantage of a little that is important to sell quickly and buyers will continue to search, Although I take a little profit but a quality flavor. Because if the price is high then it will be less interested. My marketing target is all kalangang, from small children to adults. comment image

Happy New Year to Zidisha lenders, I am Vida Serwaa writing from Techiman -Ghana. I am very grateful to Zidisha lenders for granting me this loan, as I started with this organization, I taught this will be fraud, though I started with a low amount, I was advised by my VM that all that this organisation lenders need is trust, and since I believe in myself to be a trustworthy person I never gave up. Now I can boast of what I thought to be fraud had provided me a new electric sewing machine for my sewing industry. To my lenders, God bless you all and to this point, as you are expecting my repayment amount higher, you forgive me for the reduced repayment amount. Is not by bad intention, but is because I wanted to make good use of the electric machine, I need to trap electricity power to my shop and divert all changes and setups manually to an electric shop. This have really cost me a lot than expected thus why I reduce my repayment amount in order to keep me on-time score high and eligible to prove trustworthy to my lenders. Now I am making a finishing to my shop renovation in order to able use the electric sewing machine for higher yield. I am hoping to increase the repayment amount due. Thank you lenders.

Hi Zidisha lenders and Zidisha staff. I am very very happy to let you know that my business has improved tremendously since I bought a Motor-bike to assist me in the transportation of chicken products - meat and eggs to my customers. My profits were more than doubled because I was not outsourcing for transportation. This has enabled me to pay my bills like school fees for my children on time, health insuarance for my family and also to save for expansion of my business as I plan to built a house for my family starting 2019. I have no words to thank you enough, but I hope that you will accept my sincere thanks through this communication.
