This third loan has really helped me expand my business, rent a shop and hired a hand. My profits has also been bolstered by almost 20% because of this loan fund of which I have reinvested about 10% and supported my younger sibling to high school. This has all been possible due to your benevolent lend-lease. Thanks to all my lenders Thanks to Zidisha

To my lenders, allow me extend my warm greetings of Thanksgiving for your valued support to enable me follow my dreams and achieve greater heights of development. Through your support of loan of $I23 i will increase my MPESA float level of $300 dollars to $418dollars which will boost my service delivery and hence I expect more transactions which will result in an increase of commission.

I am lost for words to you lenders who chose to fund my application. At a particular time living in our countries (3rd world) we loose faith in humanity. This is as a result of completely inverted economic status which in turn favors only a small percentage of people to start businesses and stay in them. You funding my application may seem like a helping hand to an entrepreneur, but to me it kind of restores faith in humanity. Now I believe that there are good, caring and kind people out there. Thank you very much, I will work hard to repay the loan back to you, so that you can continue to do the same to others.

Hello lenders , for my loan application i was given ,i bought a chips flier , i worked for a good business for one month and for the last month of June the business did not keep on truck since the climate affected most of the potatoes and the price of what was available sky rocketed up . The potatoes as per now price are going down and the business have returned its progress. Initially i had previously said that the business was in baseline of 70% profit . On the other had i have still been working on outside catering and in a nutshell the business is now 72% due to support and boost by the purchases of addition curtly materials for the loan i received from zidisha. I have also been blessed with a girl child and i am very happy in the month of june 2017. I woud like zidisha this time around to buy a cooler ice box for perishable vegetables.
