Dear Lenders, I am humbled by your generosity and kindness towards funding my loan. I received the total amount and over the last one week I've put it to good use by finishing final touches to the shop and buying a frying machine, display counter and freezer. After the licensing process is done we will open doors to the snack cafe officially and right on time for school holidays. This business will be run by my wife and elder sister and this will keep both busy at the same time bringing extra revenue to two families. I am confident with the extra profit this new business will earn I will be able to repay my loan on time. Once again I thank you for your contributions and and I pray you be truly blessed.

Hello Zidisha The financial support you've been giving me is making me strong even though we are facing a very long draught in Kenya. The lands are very dry, water sources dried up. But I have hope the rain will drop very soon and my project will go on well though the demand for vegetables is very high but the the farm is not giving the good quality due to the current climate status. I am now preparing one side of the land ready for the rainy season Thank you

Paulson · Lusaka, Zambia

Feb 15, 2017

Hello team. The loan that I got has been a blessing to me. The clientele base has broadened a little bit thus making business a delight to do. The spares were bought and the printer was also put in place. The purchasing n repairing ofthe said items have helped greatly to improve the profits that are being recovered from the daily sales. This has hence helped to finance part of the school fees for my young sister and have continued to help out with the little that I am still gaining from the business. In summary, I would love to thank you once more for your timely empowerment.

Hi I know i have been unusually quite, last year was a very tough year for me. Thanks God thing are bright this year. I have already had 5 outdoor adventure camps for youth this year. The campsite i have used most is located next to a river which gives the kids such a wonderful experience. We go upstream and sit on old car tubes and drift along the river. it takes us about 4 hrs to get back to the campsite. the campsite also has a high rope course and great camping grounds. The toilet are modern but built in a thatched house which give it a campsite outlook comment image

Moreover, the new business excites me as i am able t get some income on top of my day job We managed to buy a few equipment with the loan money you extended us last year We now wish to purchase an oxyacetylene gas burner set to assist with the body works remolding and joinery Kindly extend us this loan that will go a long way in making the business profitable. Thank you for your consideration Warm Regards, Stephen Mogoi
