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.

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.

My loan i reinvested in my cyber cafe whereby I was able to by a scanning machine worth KES 4000 and a morden binding machine worth KES 3000. Those machine really helped me in my business because I was able to do things I wasn't able to do without them. It has increased my monthly profit from KES 20,000 to KES 25,000. That profit increase I used it to reinvest in my business again by adding some electronics for sell. I have also another achievement that I have been able to add Mpesa mobile money transfer on my business. In our neighborhood we have held a come together ceremony just recently.
