I have finally cleared this loan though it took longer that I had intended. The world of business can be very unpredictable and my business took a nose-dive sometime last year. I am glad that I finally found my footing and I was able to clear this loan. Thank you so much for your valuable support that enabled me to open a new branch thus making it possible to tap more clients. With more of your support, the sky is the limit!

I must be grateful to my lenders for making my job easier for me with virtually no interest on my loan and allowing me to pay in my own pace. I feel relaxed in my job. In fact there is no pressure on me paying my loan. I pray for Zidisha to live long so that we the poor make it progressively to the top. My hair dressing saloon looks more attractive than before. The new hair dryer I bought with Zidisha loan have made my work easy and not forgetting the handryer have increased my pony style. I thank my lenders grately for their massive support.

Thanks to God for today I was able to make good sales of my goods (roasted peanuts) and I dedicated all my profits to paying the loan. I was able to pay KES 1800 which have never paid at once before. The peanut business has supported my garden project very well because for it was not of it I would not be paying the loan on time. I look forward on making more investments. Thank you Zidisha for supplementing my initial capital in all my businesses. May God bless you all. Last but not the least,thank you my lenders and may God increase your capital to fund more loans. You have golden hearts. I wish you existed the time I schooled. I would have not gone through such tough challenges. I almost dropped out of school. Bye. Am so excited.comment imagecomment image
