Hellen · Nairobi, Kenya

Sep 1, 2015

This is to inform you that i'm very grateful. I received my loan and I've increased my stock in form of adding more materials and other accessories. since i used to rely solely on customers' stock, i can now boast of a variety of my own since customers can now come to choose from my variety. I am optimistic my sales will increase since now i have variety from which my customers can choose from. I'm giving myself one month from which I'll have realised a difference in form of sales and other achievements. During school holidays, children are all over as in they are up and about. The environment is more noisy because they have all activities going on as in competition in all sorts! Bonding is also essential, as that's the time one can get to know more about the children's well being and shortcomings! They are now back to school. Hoping to keep you posted on all developments!!

Below is the brooder heater I bought and the last lot of the chicks this month. In fact, they are 3 weeks now. The brooder heater, I bought from a member of Zidisha who also practice poultry farming.

Goodmorning good people,i would like to in the first place thank you for the great favour you did to me by giving me the loan 4months ago.My shop has really grown and am so glad about it.I had bought bags and make ups with the cash i got from you and i got much returns which i divided;some for getting more make ups and bags and some for creating bussiness cards for my shop website,facebook page,instagram and tweeter. I also created a watsapp group for my customers,where i post pictures of new arrivals for customers to place their orders.Am now intending to stock for clothes and shoes to provide a variety of stuffs to my customers,and make much sales in this peak season.Thats why i've thought of applying another loan.Thanks again for your continued support and may God bless you abundantly!!

Zidisha has inspired me to belief that I can achieve all my dreams. Initially, I could not afford to repay an installment of $5 per week consistently with ease. Zidisha funding has changed the story. I now envision to be a proprietor of a national/ regional transport company one day. The strategy of reaching this goal is starting by saving part of the profit I get from my current business and requesting my Zidisha lenders for additional funding. I intend to start small in a few months. Your continuous support is requested. Thank you.

Greetings to the zidisha lenders. Well the funds given to me to add on my business has helped to boost my stock. The profit from the sales has continued to be added to together with the capital and it has really shown a great difference. I will continue to make my repayments to enable me finalise paying the loan that I can be able to lend some more to add on an extra business like selling gas. I hope all this will go well with the business by then. Thank you very much for your continued support to enable me to self dependant . Thank you.

Dear Lenders I thank you for the support you have rendered to me. Through the loan i have attained confidence to do more in indigenous poultry business. I have learnt the challenges in this investment and i work had to overcome them. Although my stock was wiped out when diseases and bad weather affected the stock, am still determined to make my business more productive and have returns increased. If it were not of money lended to me it could take me time to learn of the challenges.

Dear Lenders, Am extremely happy with zidisha as far as my education is concerned,i recently got a promotion from my manager after he saw university registration documents in my employment file,after graduating from college with a higher diploma in media studies,i proceeded to register for a degree in the same field,i think this motivation to sharpen my skills prompted the manager to reward me with promotion,it would not have been possible without the assistance of zidisha,i did not encounter any financial huddles and to cap it all am servicing my loan well,to make it interesting am sure i will be funded again after finishing the current loan......what a smooth ride with zidisha..may zidisha live and thrive for generations and generations,thanks.

Having the opportunity to expand my business was a greatful event in my life, i was full dependant on my brothers and parents on college fees payment, am happy to say i can now pay half the amount for next semister on my own. In my family i am the first one to do that. Now that am on a long vacation from july to december, Zidisha has given me an opportunity to become a fully enterprenuer instead on stay jobless at home. May God bless all lenders in Zidisha Community.
