Also, the profit received is being banked for my finance to be more stable. Otherwise as updated earlier, I underwent a guards training and am awaiting deployment soon.The company is recognized in Kenya and Africa at large (KK Group Of Companies). There salary scale is so good, per security officer they pay 15,000/= , which is $145 dollars. On the other hand my daughter is growing big, now 1 year and 7 months though she is unwell as this August is a rainy season. Lastly, I am proud of zidisha and my lovely lenders, hope all are fine.

I thank my lenders through Zidisha for enabling me complete my recently concluded research project on organic pesticide. I am planning to go to the next phase after my manuscript is published by the Journal of Health and Pollution. This has made a difference in my career. I will get an opportunity to partner with my former lecturers (of Chemical Engineering) and together we will work on the product's commercialization. This will entail further research on the product development (final formulation, preservation, patenting, packaging, pilot plant production, other) and projecting the commercial model for industrial scale partnerships.

Hello Team.. It has always given me so much joy to talk to you. One of the best decisions i have ever made is joining the zidisha family. Yesterday i completed the Paymnent of my first loan from zidisha and i can confirm that it has added a lot of substance to my corn business.Through the loan, i was able to give the best inputs to my corn and i reaped significant outputs and yields out of that. In fact, i registered a 40% increase in produce or yields which i attribute to timely application of fertilizers, foliar and all the relevant inputs which the loan i received helped me to provide in a timely manner. Am planning to re invest the returns and profits back to my corn business in the next few weeks as the planting season is nearing. Am also intending to put to use an extra half an acre of land which i did not use or plant anything in the previous season since i did not have sufficient resources to facilitate the inputs. My desire is to make good returns from my business and apart from supporting my siblings, i wish to one day go back to university to advance my studies and gain some knowledge on business. Its said that knowledge is power and i hope that in the near future, my dream will come to pass. Thank you my lenders and may God bless you. I look forward to receiving your assistance again to help me take my business even to greater heights and through your assistance,i also aspire to inspire more people. May God bless the Zidisha family. Kind regards, Eliud

Hi Lenders and Admin, I yesterday deposited my first ever installment toward repaying my first loan from Zidisha, a loan for which I profoundly thank you. You are changing the way I do my online business. You are helping me up my game. And as a result, I will hold to my promise of timely repayments, at the time posting here to keep you well informed on what progress I continue to make. And as early as now, I begin to involve the ambition that I, like you, will somewhat one day help a younger brother and sister, or even older ones for that mater, lift the barriers and move on if they want. I do not have to wait until I have a lot of money! Again, I am ever so grateful. Willy Munyoki The M-PESA transaction ID:JHG1WCQENT

Goodnight donors, to make my sales increased I tried to recruit others to sell children"s clothing with a profit-sharing system, they can sell these clothes in their area, I chose people I trust and needed extra money to help the family finances, their want to seek additional income but do not have the capital to sell, but to me given the opportunity to sell clothes from me, they can take advantage, I was also lucky because the clothes can be sold more quickly without having to sell my. I want to share happiness with others by helping them finance the same as the donors do. Thank you for sharing happiness to them through me ...

Honey programme.... Apart from the research project, we have a 'honey wealthmakers programme' under the 'integrated development programme' and it is our fastest growing programme. Several farmers are expressing interest to acquire our bee hive kits, harvesting equipment and protective clothing. Others are selling honey to us which we repackage and resell. We are building bee apiary houses for others. This honey programme is pretty interesting. comment image
