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.

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.

My earnings have increased incredibly by an average of 4000KES. I managed to buy two cows from the profit I made. The profit also helped me in purchasing some household stuff like a home thratre sound system and a flat screen LED television.

I THANK ALL THE LENDERS AND ZIDISHA, INC. Through your support, I was able to grow my business at a very high rate and I am proud of that. When I started, I had only a small basic printer but now I have a big 3-in-1 printer which is commercial and economical, and I also have added more computers. Now, I am able to pay school fees for my brother and also support my family, including my single-parent mum. In the future, I see creating jobs and also reducing or maybe even eliminating illiteracy by training people in basic computer packages. ASANTE SANA, ZIDISHA! (THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ZIDISHA!)

Hi lenders, i have been doing well and my business is equally doing good. Below is the list of the items i bought with the loan i got; I bought the oil for engine service at USD32.00, I also bought Puncture repair covers at USD14.00. Also in the list was Tyre tubes costing USD8.50. These were the most and commonly typical basic services that i offers daily. The services have contributed a lot to my profit especially this January month. With the new stock my profit per day is now hitting my target of USD30.00. I have managed to settle most of my bills,i have sent some money to my parents back home and my hope is that in the coming weeks i will be able to be repaying more installment. I thank you you my Lenders and Zidisha Family. To me,this is truly a dream come true and i have seen God in my life. Thank you very much. Regards, Samuel Kibe.
