My sincere gratitudes to my lenders. Am grateful most importantly for the confidence and patience that you have vested in me. The previous loan of $90 was gave me a breathing space in the face of strong competition tides at my place of business. When i joined Zidisha I had a capital base of ony $200 (Ksh 20,000) with a monthy profit of $ 150 (ksh 15,000) when it shot the highest. My aspiration was that i would fetch atleast $ 225 (ksh 22,500) with and expanded capital base of $300 (ksh 30,000) with the help of zidisha. I have faced bad challenges but when i look at my figures as they stand now, i can not be more grateful than this! First my business is now worth $400 (ksh 40,000) and my profits per month avarage at $ 243 (ksh 24,500). Within the period i have been a Zidisha member i have enhanced and expanded my stock. Early in April i had to relocate to another place nearby where i would get a more spacious room for my business. Am thankful to my lenders who have been patient with me in my business as i faced critical adminstrative issues majorly because i had to joggle my business operations and my education especially that time when i was taking part of my final year exams in college mid last month. Good news with all that is that am hopefull to graduate early next month all because of what the business has enabled me to. I have all the reasons to thank my lenders for allowing me make these achievements in life. I have lodged another loan application and i aspire to keep expanding. I effectively may not do that without your continued confidence and invaluable assistance into the course of my business. Thank you and God bless.

I have completed my research on organic pesticide product development. It performed well and compared well with a common inorganic insecticide, especially on limiting residual heavy metals in vegetables. Future work will involve its commercialization by working on aspects like increasing shelf life, packaging, standardization, and concentrating to limit bulkiness. A report on the performance on limiting residual heavy metals has been submitted to my external supervisor at Blacksmith Institute (New York). concurrently, I submitted a manuscript based on the same research to the Journal Of Health and Pollution (JHP) (USA) for potential publication. If published, it will mark a great stride in the journey of both scientific research, technical writing as well as innovation for solving our contemporary challenges. I am hoping that both the manuscript and report will be approved before am paid the remaining fraction of the research support. I would like to thank Zidisha lenders who believed in this start up idea and chipped in their loans.

Yesterday I met Josephat Bundi, a clothing retailer and seasoned Zidisha borrower, at his home in the town of Juja. Josephat was born in Nyamira, a region in western Kenya near Lake Victora and over 400km from Nairobi. Josephat is a member of the Kikuyu tribe, the most populous ethnic group in Kenya. Kikuyus are strongly represented in local and national business and politics - Kenya has had four presidents since the modern nation formed in 1964, and three have been Kikuyu. Much of Josephat's family remains in Nyamira, whom he visits regularly. Though Josephat is set to graduate from JKUAT this year with a degree in control and instrumentation, he has been running his clothing business for over two years. Starting out with only string and tape to hang clothing from lampposts and fences, he has built the business to occupy a set of four adjacent wooden stalls at a busy street corner near the university. He has used three Zidisha loans to fuel his growth over the past year, expanding into shirts, shoes, scarves, jackets, pants, and other accessories. Josephat dreams one day of starting a fashion clothing boutique in downtown Nairobi, where the market size and customer base will allow his business to grow bigger than it could in Juja. Unlike many students at JKUAT who spend time studying, having fun, or seeking jobs, Josephat seems committed to his clothing business, which he plans to continue full-time after graduating. Josephat, thank you for showing me your business and neighborhood yesterday. I wish you the best of luck!comment imagecomment imagecomment image

It’s not every day you meet an individual who is a student of math, computer science, and theology; a men’s clothing entrepreneur; a social activist and community organizer; and an aspiring self-help author! This morning I met Stephen Mungai, a student and business owner from Juja who has used two Zidisha loans to grow a clothing store. Stephen is also a social activist and the founder of “Dream Vision”, a group of like-minded Juja citizens who provide food and counseling for underserved members of their community. Stephen is a true social entrepreneur: one who considers his business a tool primarily for social uplift rather than personal advancement. I met Stephen in the town of Juja which lies 40km northeast of Nairobi, along the major highway connecting Nairobi with the industrial town of Thika. Juja is home to the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) where Stephen is completing his studies in mathematics and computer science. Two years ago, Stephen began a small business by buying men’s clothing downtown and selling the apparel to university students via “door-to-door hawking” at dorms and hostels. Starting with just $200, Stephen established a loyal group of customers and expanded the business until he was able to rent a storefront on the main street outside the JKUAT campus. Two years and two Zidisha loans later, “Elite Boutique” now employs three people and carries a large selection of shoes, suits, jackets, scarves, pants, and women’s accessories. Stephen bought an automatic sewing machine with his second Zidisha loan that allowed him to expand into tailoring services, as well as a large fridge that stocks drinks and snacks. Stephen keeps his stall open until 10pm most nights to accommodate his main customers: university students and employees. Although the quiet summer season from May to August can be challenging for financial planning and loan repayment, demand has been strong recently and Stephen is confident in sustaining and expanding his business with additional Zidisha loans. After talking with Stephen for only a few minutes, it becomes evident that his passion and responsibility extend beyond the walls of his clothing store to the community around him. Stephen insists on walking me around the streets of Juja, particularly through an area of dilapidated tenements and stores along a winding dirt lane called Gashororo Road. As we pass through the low-income neighborhood, Stephen points out telltale signs of community alcohol and drug abuse and child neglect: broken vodka and beer bottles amid piles of trash and young children working or idling instead of attending school. Stephen tells me anecdotes of various community involvement projects: just yesterday, when he worked with officials to confiscate and burn illicitly brewed alcohol; last week, when he provided meals for needy children. Digging further, I come to learn that Stephen is the organizing member of “Dream Vision”, a community group that provides counseling for victims of substance abuse, mentorship for children without schools and homes, and free lunches and dinners for the poor. Dream Vision, though small, is entirely self-funded; as Stephen insists, “charity begins with you”. Dream Vision works with church officials, community organizations, and the town government to advocate and organize events for societal improvement. Stephen’s passion for social work is informed by a powerful world-view shaped by a difficult childhood and religious upbringing. Stephen is a devout Christian who practices at a local church and actually has a diploma in theology. He grew up in a poor and rural town near the Aberdares mountains in western Kenya, raised by a single mother who went through a divorce when Stephen was very young. Stephen never knew his father but is incredibly grateful to his mother, who not only sent him and his siblings to high school by taking a series of odd jobs but also sold the family's small farm plot to pay for his university fees. Stephen has forged a strong philosophy of self-actualization from his past challenges; he speaks often of the conscious decision he made to leave a life of hardship by succeeding in business. Stephens considers it a responsibility to help others in his community make similar, self-motivating choices through counseling and mentorship. Stephen also introduced me to some of the many Zidisha members that he has invited onto the platform. He trains and counsels his fellow borrowers and advocates for their loan applications as strongly as his own; when they succeed, he argues, they can create jobs for the unemployed and help support the local community. In fact, Stephen is writing a book to share his advice and mentorship with those he doesn’t have the time or resources to reach. In the back room of his clothing store, he showed me a frayed notebook containing the hand-written manuscript. The near-finished book is called “Change the History,” and it stresses the power of choice and self-determination in overcoming life’s challenges. Full of quotes from the bible - “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7) - and from authors like Paolo Coelho, it contains sections on dark themes of poverty, drug abuse, and suicide, as well as positive inspirational guidance. Stephen is confident he will publish the book one day, despite the considerable cost, and he plans to dedicate it to his mother. I asked Stephen what else he might do if he achieved financial security, and he immediately replied that he would enter politics as a social activist. Unlike many of his colleagues, who gravitate toward Nairobi after graduation where job opportunities are better, Stephen has no desire to leave the Juja area. He is well-versed in the local town governance and finances, and full of ideas for how the Constituency Development Fund (a Kenyan poverty-alleviation initiative) could be better used to improve his neighborhood. Thank you for introducing me to your business and your community, Stephen. I wish you the best of luck with your business and I know you have an amazing future ahead of you!

Hi. I am pleased to inform you that I received my loan in good time and in good condition. I have now bought two packets of window fasteners each at Ksh. 2500 and 2 dozens of drawer lock at ksh.300 each. This totals to ksh.5600. Am projecting a profit of ksh. 2500 from the sale of these commodities next week since I already have an order to deliver. I will plough back this profit to my business and see if I can bring on board two of my brothers who are still leaving in the terrorism prone area of Lamu. I once again appreciate you and pray that may the Almighty God bless you abundantly.

Hello my well wishers, I am grateful for the loan that you funded me in March 2015. It has been of great help to me as I used it to pay my school fees for the previous semester. Your financial help ensured that my sale of bags still continues since I did not ruin my small business for the sake of my education, at least I remained with the capital to keep it moving. Indeed, this organization was God sent to me. Believe me, I must dedicate and acknowledge Zidisha for my success in education. I kindly ask for more support in funding my school fees for this semester. God bless.

The profits I got for the three months I have been working in my salon, I have been able to buy the hair dryer as you can see from the picture. Were it not for Zidisha, I would not have been able to move forward. Long live Zidisha and thank you for being there for me..

Hello, the previous loan has propelled my business to an impressive level. My office is fully furnished and i have been getting several offers from freelancers who want to join me but the space can only accommodate maximum of four. This is a challenge, but i hope that by the end of the year i will have made good savings so that i get bigger space. I am proud that four people are able to earn a living with my help and it gives me a sense of fulfillment. Thanks to Zidisha for making this possible. God bless you lenders, your hand went a long way and I know one day, one way or another, God will reward your kindness.

Thank you so much my lenders, i used my past loan to purchase chairs and tables to be used in my restaurant and that has made a great impact on my business. My customers have increased a great deal and my profits have gone up. I have used the increased earnings to pay for my brother his university fees and also added more equipment to help in running the business. I am looking forward to this loan so i can use it to add more chairs and tables to accommodate more customers.

Watch your impact grow.
