Thank you for your continuous assistance to me, my family and my school. Your interest free loan has led to improvement in my life. My school population keeps on increasing. The ratio of girls to boys is closing up gradually. I am forever grateful to all my lenders and also promise to remain faithful with regards to my repayment of my loan. Even though I have reduced my repayment amount, I will meet the minimum time given. May God bless you all and grant you long life.

Thanks very much for the last loan disbursed to me .I'm very grateful and I do appreciate financial support given by zidisha platform. With the last loan, I purchased 10 wheelbarrows for hire for any construction works available all at a cost of KES 40,000/=, one vibrator machine for hire any some building activities like concrete mixing at a cost of KES 15,000/=,a linear plastic tube, water canvas plastic long pipe,4 drill bits,a metalic hacksaw all at a cost of KES 7,550/= and a packet of razor blade for cutting nylon ropes and other materials.The purchase of these items received in my life increases income by approximately 60%,made me get most of construction and building contracts, relieved financial and emotional stress at work places.The increased income was used to buy food, clothes, school fees paid for the children,fare to and from work place, settling electricity and water bills and buying other secondary wants for the family. Within the nearby environment, there are many building activities done by wealthy individuals, county government,school premises, store places and other business structures.I am applying for another loan to progress in life, improve income and purchase more building required items. comment image

Here"s the process of making bricks: 1. Raw materials Soil, Sand and Ash mixed into one dough with the right composition. 2. The dough is inputted into the brick press machine so that it comes out raw bricks. 3. The bricks are still wet and then transported to dry in the outdoor outdoors to dry, this process about 3-5 days. 4. Bricks that have been dried and then transported and stacked in the room. 5. Bricks that have been prepared to be baked in order to mature, the combustion process is 24 hours non-stop. 6. Mature bricks ready for sale to consumers. I use brick sales to buy raw materials back, pay employee salaries and for family needs. Kindly my loan can be fulfilled immediately, thank you. comment image

This is the current state of the land as I finish up fencing.The following are my typical cost for fencing: Chain- link/wire-mesh 6 bunches each at Ksh 2300, Barbed wire one piece at Ksh 4200, Fourteen pieces of metals at Ksh 1050 per metal. This metal each produced 3 pieces of metal posts . I only needed 38 posts and hence the reminders were used as support. Labor for erecting the fence is Ksh 5000. Labor for cutting and welding a single metal was Ksh 50 . There were miscellaneous costs of transportation from market place of Ksh 500 and also sand transport and ballast 2 wheelbarrows each at Ksh 200 Two bags of cement at Ksh 750 each. Holes for erecting the poles/posts were dug but was part of the labor for erecting the fence. The benefit of fencing the land is to curb wild animals from interfering with my crops especially at fruit stage and also keeping away goats , chicken, and cows. It also helps prevent further land disputes after you have made the payments since beacons are erected even before involving a surveyor. The work of surveyor would be to confirm the land transactions. I will now be set to begin developing the small land by all means. Take not of the face of the piece of land and in near future you will see the change. Welcome aboard and help me with your ideas as I embark on this great mission on my piece of land. comment image

I will use this loan to buy a sprayer pump and pesticides for farming in my farm. The pump that I will buy will cost about $250 and then the remaining amount I will buy pesticides for spraying my crops against the pests. I will be able to harvest high yields from the form due to controlled pests. My profit is projected to increase by 50% of my current earning. Other people will benefit by getting vegetable readily available in the market. ThNk you all lenders.

Hi all Finally the scanners have arrived! We now have the three barcode scanners we need to read specimen barcodes. With a little cash that we had put aside and an additional loan from another institution we bought a barcode label printer and a computer. These items bring us closer to completing the setup of a cancer screening and diagnostic system for our population. Thank you all for your help! The next few loans will focus on the remaining pieces in the system, a microtome, logistics, website development and marketing. I hope you will continue walking with us in this journey.

Hello, I'd like to tell you about this book, "How Not To Die", by Dr. Michael Greger: https://nutritionfacts.org/book/ In the book Dr. Greger explains how most causes of death in the developed countries depend on poor nutrition, that is, eating too much animal products and too little plants. His website also has thousands of videos on nutrition with more details.

The last loan I just paid helped me a lot in these manner; my profit margin increased from 30% to 60%.I also bought a laptop at a cost of $222.49 from the profit I made from the business. This laptop enables me to keep records of my daily transactions.It is also used to check results and payslips for students and workers for a fee that also increases my profit. I used $53.40 to buy two bags of maize to the Tamale orphanage as part of my social responsibility in my community.Above all, my working capital increased by 35% which made me serve a lot of customers to meet their needs and expectation. I thank the lenders for making a difference in my life.
