Up to now, zidisha lenders have been supportive enough. for example, i was able to build a house for my family and i rent no more, i got enough space to rear chicken and goats, now i do not buy water because i get is from the same house that i built, my children's school fees have been taken care of and they learn smoothly.
The previous loan helped me to introduce some new commodities in my shop and this increased the profit margin.The profits have been very useful to me,i had been previously experiencing some financial difficulties but now my business has relatively stabilised.
Dear lenders,
I trust you are all doing great in your entreprises. With the loan that I received, I am able to provide monthly feeding for the animals and it helps to keep them in health. Now it's the time to transfer the sheep to the village for grazing in the farm fields. The rainy season is starting.
But here in Niamey where I live the weather isn't too kind, the temperature reaches 42 to 45 °C
Thank you for support.

My names are Peter Muthui, I applied for a loan at Zidisha last and was funded. I used the loan to buy new wheels for my motorcycle, a helmet and reflector for my passengers. By doing this, I was able to make more trips and increase my earnings. My customers increased since it was safer to be ferried with my motorbike. I am so grateful and Thankful to Zidisha for funding me and improving my living standards.

Hello Mary, I was more than happy to assist and am so glad other lenders stepped in to help as well. I am sure Jan73 will step in to offer Yvonne encouragement and support. Just stay positive and continue to move forward towards your goals. You can do it - you have proven that already with your ability to bounce back from such difficulties!
Dear Zidisha,
I am happy to inform you that the investment I made with the disbursed loan has not disappointed as I am experiencing a greater number of customers who previously needed somewhere close where they could buy cereals. At the same time, the investment has enhanced customer satisfaction and loyalty. I am glad to report that the demand for cereals is beyond what I had anticipated. As such, my niece and I are even happier to have made a good investment choice. Our hope is to keep supplying our customers with sufficient cereals and eggs even as we concentrate on restocking other shop commodities. Our sincere thanks go out to Zidisha lenders for believing in our progress.
My dear lenders, thank you so much for the loan. Indeed I am so excited to manage to buy a copier as attached on photo.
I am proud of you my lenders. Thanks alot.
Dear Lenders. I used my last loan to buy some trench coats which i was introducing into my business for the first time. Quite a number of customers have been visiting my shop since there are not many sellers of such type of clothes nearby. This has increased my profit margin with about 10%, and I use the extra profit to increase the stock of trench coats. The lifestyle of my family is gradually improving and we hope that it can only get better. Once in a while i take my family out, at times to Thompson Falls, a tourist site which is just a few kilometres from our local home.
halloo lenders you have always been their for me and i realy want to thank you for everything,i was able to pay my fee and buy tools for my painting job.
i also secured a contract which gave me money that improved my life.
thank you so much GOD BLESS.
Thank you for lending me the first time it was such a great opportunity to meet my clients need. I was able to deliver on time always because of the capital base i had. My earning have increased by at least 30 percent. I was also able to move into a new house. A self contained one I pay 6,000 Kenya Shillings rent now. I moved from a single room which was 4,000 Kenya Shillings. I would like to say that my life has improved so far. The new neighborhood that i moved into is really near to the bus stop. I used to walk 15 minutes to the bus stop, now I its only two minutes walk. I come to work always feeling more energized. It is also nearer to the church.
I spent the loan on purchasing the mugs for branding which i kept in stock to make my orders timely.
Here are some of the photos of the orders I got and i that really made my clients happy.
I thank you very much this opportunity and may the Lord richly bless you. I would use this fund to buy sugar, margarine and and floor for my bakery. This would prevent me from paying the 3% interest on each of them when i use to buy them on credit.Therefore it would help to improve my income.
Dear lenders,i am taking this chance to really thank you for the loan you offered me.I used the money to add ladies shoes and handbags into my shop which attracted more customers and it was easy to dress a lady from head to toe and all my customers were really happy, and they even spread the word and I get other customers who give their orders through whatsap and I deliver them.
Due to winter season in our country,
the sales decreased abruptly. this is because now every person is shopping for warm cloths like coats, trenchcoats, heavy scarfs and warm boots. So hopefully with your help I will use the next loan to add this to my stock.

Their teacher told me Veronica's performance is excellent while Boateng and Kyere's performance are averagely good.I was told by their teacher that Veronica want to be Doctor in future.When I heard that I became much pleased.
I believe the good Lord will touch the heart of Zidisha Lenders to help me finance these Orphans.

Hello Lenders,
Thank you so much for lending your support and money to me once again. I have received the loan that I had put up for financing to the tune of US$100. Last minute dash but the finish line finally came through.
I have already ordered for the Leaf Springs for the new project. Likely, they will have arrived and been fixed by this Friday. I am also making arrangement for the Dumpers. So the project will be good and ready to run by weekend, God willing.
I cannot express my appreciation for your support well enough. Thank you for coming through and God bless you all richly.

Hello lenders, today I managed to purchase new goods from the funds I borrowed, Power banks were out of stock so I used the funds to purchase cell phones which I have sold one piece already, power banks will be available in a matter of days. Below are photos of the goods.
Hello dear lenders, am so grateful that my laminating services are going on well, I started offering the services on 29th may and so far, i have been able to make almost $20. This is very positive news. Am charging around $0.6 per A4 size of paper and I ve been able to do 38pcs. Phocopy is also respoding positively and 1 rim is done already.will keep you updated on the progress.
Thank my lenders for the receipt of $167 I receiced. It has enabled me to buy raw materials for my leather work. The materials increased my profit by 7%. The increase of my earning has help me to increase my capital. If fact I am now looking forward to purchase more materials since I have been able to get orders from one local primary school for branded school bags and motorbike seat covers. This work will need a lot of raw materials to be able to complete work on time considering the school has over 300kids under bay care.
Thank you once again, I have never seen this type of micro-lending organization ever since. It has narrowed the gap between the rich and the poor.
The ZIDISHA loan helped me to expand my business by enabling me to acquire more financial resources with which I bought diversified dairy products for sale to my customers. Through the loan I also obtained a second hand bicycle that made my travels to reach customers easy. The bicycle cost 60 dollars while 22 dollars were used to increase the quantity of daily products supplied, i.e Yoghurt, cheese, UHT Milk and freshly packed milk products.The profit returns doubled and enabled me to open a clothing business for my younger brother. i also used part of the profits to pay my university fee arrears.
honestly peaking the loan I have just completed improved my Life to the better, I was able to meet the basic needs and school fees and items for my siblings. The profit increased to double figures, from the loan of Ksh 8000, I was able to make a profit of Ksh 10000. I hope with the new loan and the demand, I will be able to make more profits. Thank you so much lenders for changing lives, God bless you!
I thank my lender for the money he lend to me. It helped me to buy printing/photocopy papers for my work.
These papers increased my profit by 5%. The increase of my earning has help me to increase my capital. If fact I am now looking forward to purchase more materials since I have been able to get orders from one local primary school to be typing and printing exams.
This work will need a lot of papers and photocopy ink to be able to complete work on time considering the school has over 400pupils.
Am very grateful to my leaders for supporting me and I was able to buy the Microwave, two banner gas cooker and the thermal flask. I say thank you for your support.my customers are enjoying hot meal every day particular this cold season in Kenya and actually my sales have increased by 30% within those few week there is a great charge in sales turnover. thank you.
Dear Zidisha lenders,
I want to confirm that I received the loan of amount Ksh 18,208 which I have invested as I had planned. As depicted in the photo, I have injected the money into buying more eggs as well as cereals. 80% of the money has gone to cereals while 20% has been used to increase the stock of eggs. One week after making this investment, I am already enjoying bigger profits since my customers now have access to a wider range of commodities. I thank you sincerely for believing in me and giving me hope of success despite the hard economic times. This is a partnership that I will always treasure since it holds the key to my future business plans. Thank you Zidisha for your benevolence and trust.

Thank you so much Zidisha for your continuous support. I received the Cash actually as i had applied for and right in time. A customer had placed an order of pens and pen holders while another placed an order of clocks and a three-in-one picture frame. Just as i was trying to live up to their demands, another asked for coat hangers so this is why i must say i received the cash on the time. I bought materials like pens, paints, pen holders themselves, and served my customer in time. Right now i am winding up clocks and the picture frame the deadline is soon so that i can come back to this third customer. Once again thank you for the loan because it has really boost me a great deal and it really keeps me going, thank you and God bless you.

Hello Lenders,
Thank you so much for lending your support and money to me once again. I have received the loan that I had put up for financing to the tune of US$100. Last minute dash but the finish line finally came through.
I have already ordered for the Leaf Springs for the new project. Likely, they will have arrived and been fixed by this Friday. I am also making arrangement for the Dumpers. So the project will be good and ready to run by weekend, God willing.
I cannot express my appreciation for your support well enough. Thank you for coming through and God bless you all richly.
Pics coming up soon.
Best Regards

Add leather materials
Thank my lenders for the receipt of $167 I receiced. It has enabled me to buy raw materials for my leather work. The materials increased my profit by 7%. The increase of my earning has help me to increase my capital. If fact I am now looking forward to purchase more materials since I have been able to get orders from one local primary school for branded school bags and motorbike seat covers. This work will need a lot of raw materials to be able to complete work on time considering the school has over 300kids under bay care.
Thank you once again, I have never seen this type of micro-lending organization ever since. It has narrowed the gap between the rich and the poor.

The ZIDISHA loan helped me to expand my business by enabling me to acquire more financial resources with which I bought diversified dairy products for sale to my customers. Through the loan I also obtained a second hand bicycle that made my travels to reach customers easy. The bicycle cost 60 dollars while 22 dollars were used to increase the quantity of daily products supplied, i.e Yoghurt, cheese, UHT Milk and freshly packed milk products.The profit returns doubled and enabled me to open a clothing business for my younger brother. i also used part of the profits to pay my university fee arrears.

Motorbike for transportation of commodities for retail shop
Dear Zidisha lenders,
I want to confirm that I received the loan of amount Ksh 18,208 which I have invested as I had planned. As depicted in the photo, I have injected the money into buying more eggs as well as cereals. 80% of the money has gone to cereals while 20% has been used to increase the stock of eggs. One week after making this investment, I am already enjoying bigger profits since my customers now have access to a wider range of commodities. I thank you sincerely for believing in me and giving me hope of success despite the hard economic times. This is a partnership that I will always treasure since it holds the key to my future business plans. Thank you Zidisha for your benevolence and trust.
