There is one challenge I have undergoing that have made my business not to be that efficient. and the challenge is the regular losting of electric power in our center, in a day we can have no power for about half a day and this makes it difficult for me to run my business which solomely rely on power. It is due to this that my next loan I would want to purchase a power backup, that's a solar panel, a car battery and a DC -AC power inverter. so kindly help achieve it.

My last loan has brought a tremendous blessing to our family in so many different ways, namely I use the motorbike to transport my purchases for the shop on a daily basis, every morning I also use it to take my younger son to school and finally after work I venture into transport business in the evening whereby I get kshs 250/= or even 300/=. This amount helps to supplement my monthly wage and income from the shop. It has really helped me to finish my second loan quickly enough so that I can apply for the next one. In addition to that I have personally benefited from the last loan in that I no longer walk to my place of work as before. Therefore, exhaustion and wastage of time are things of the past.

Monica · Kiambu, Kenya

Mar 30, 2017

Dear Lenders, Only God can reward you for your continued support because i could never thank you enough. You have made a difference not only to my life but also for others who benefit indirectly from my business,From my delivery person who makes deliveries on a motorbike to my 100 year old grandma whom i cater to her upkeep and drugs.Thank You. My business is no longer about watches only, with previous loans given, i have bought other accessories that have helped increase the number of customers and of course my profit. I intend to use the money lent to buy stock from US & UK( I have always bought from China) which is more preferred by the middle class.This will help open up my business to the middle Class who are more quality conscious rather than the price conscious. This will in return translate to better profits for my business.
