My previous loans was used in adding the operating capital of my business. This brought a very big difference in term of the commission i get. This is because am able to move many crates per day. My earning have increased by about 20% of the previous earning . This has enabled me to be able to feed my family and pay school fees for may kids as this is the only business i rely on. With your support i can confess we are now leaving a comfortable life with my family as am now able to provide basic needs to them without struggling so much. They have also been of great support to me by psychologically and economically. Lenders, if you happen to visit Kenya and particularly Utawala, there are interesting places to visit. Nairobi National park is not far from here and other interesting geological features like the Komarock shrines. There are good hotels in the neighborhood like the Fahari hotel which only few meters from my business. You are very much welcome. Regards Domnic

I am so grateful to the lenders for the opportunity to grow my business and nurture children. With the second loan, i was able to accommodate more children after increasing the number of tables and chairs. The increment in children means more income and that is how i was able to increase my installments and thus finished paying. With the beginning of a new year, i am able to put up a new classroom thus anticipating a further enrollment. Below is a pictorial view of the end of the year graduation ceremony which was a great success.

Dear Valued Lenders, My Message: I was fortunate enough to find Zidisha Family and lovely lenders. Their very professional account advisors not only took the time to really get to know my history but really concentrated on the potential they saw in me. They go outside the box, (so to speak) to assist. They are very one on one online lending team with their clients and keep you up to date throughout every step of the loan process. They have very fair lending rates and really care about your business’s future success. I feel very fortunate to have them as my lenders and I look forward to continue dealing with them in the future. I highly recommend Zidisha Org. to all businesses and individuals looking for some financial assistance.Thank you again! Otherwise, The loan will go towards purchase of the following stock: 2 sacks of Fertilizer @ 3600/= ( $35.15 usd) 1 sack of sugar 25kgs @ 2000/ =( $19.53 usd) 1 sack of Rice 25kgs @ 1800/= ( $17.58 usd) 10 Liters Cooking oil @ 1600/ = ( $15.62 usd) Totals : 9000/= ( $87.88 usd) The above purchase is done on large quantity in which I will then repack them in small quantities to sell at a profit. My expectations this month is to improve my profit by 90%. Thank you for the loan. I promise to make early and ontime re-payments.

Today I travelled to Nairobi my capital city and using cash from the loan i was able to purchase a power drill worth USD 85 and a tool box worth USD 23. I decided to go for a more powerful drill than I had planned for since I want to handle any kind of mounting and installation. Am now happy and confident because i can now be able to carry out more reliable, safer and smart installations. The tool box will enable me to move with my tools comfortably. Thank you Zidisha team for your support.

Hi, team its my pleasure to inform you about the progress. First and foremost special thanks to all the Zidisha family for standing with each other. You have been of great help to nurturing business ideas through financial and moral support. The platform serve to motivate many who have an idea of getting where they dream. I understand of late i make late payments simply because after graduation i went through another hard period of low income. Am happy this mid January the business is picking well am sure soon everything will be alright. I wish my lenders to understand and stay positive with me. I trust everything will go as planned. Thanks alot. Shalom zidisha family
