The loan has been helpful, I have improved my office and I am getting more clients. I have been awarded a good contract and i attribute it to the presentation of my office. I am expecting more improvements in future, and become a mainstream consultant. Also, the loan helped me to pay my bills on time and meet operations cost, while repaying a flexible amount. I would advise anyone who needs to grow their business that this is the best platform to. I look forward to becoming a lender too one day! Thank you my sponsors, God bless you. Thank you Zidisha!

Hello Zidisha lender and entire Zidisha family as a whole I have just clossed my shop to take a rest after a very busy working day. Do you know I usually work from 6:00am to 11:30pm? Today was a very busy business day in my shop that I have made great sales of most of my stock. I feel much exhausted and knowing I have to open the doors of the shop tomorrow again, I see the need to take a rest. Otherwise, am doing well with the business. I introduced mobile accessories in my store and believe me not, they are doing much better. Am planning to invest more in these great employees(phone accessories). I also introduced some plastic goods and am happy to see how they are moving. I also introduced another type of soft drink with a cheaper price and I can tell you that it doing wonders. After expanding the shop, several supplies have approached me to do business with them but I am still checking on this issue to evaluate its impacts on my shop. for sure Zidisha has helped me where other could never help me and that's why I will continue giving back to you through VM duties. Am happy to inform you that my family is fine and our twins are much OK. Thanks my lender again because I used part of the funding to carter for their hospital bills. You have been with me all this Long. Thanks everyone and my you be blessed highly. In you my lender I see a great future.comment image

Hi,This is to say great!The loan I received it has changed my dream to something different from a baba shop to a tuktuk business now the story is so different from what I used to I magine but now is real.Now I Have my own passenger vehicle and the rest assets are there making money. It is un imaginable aiming too high you end up doing nothing,I was determined to my small Berber shop changed to two sits I decided to purchase a PSV motorbike from the loan I received aerier I toped up and purchased a tuktuk from there I repaid the loan I received an increase that I am paying now. From this loan as I write now I purchased a small tax car that is paying me very well and I am sure from the profit that I will receive I will pay on time and get the next increment very soon I will purchase a heavy commercial vehicle. Zidisha loan is more than a dream,in our tradition we do believe that small medicine cures more than bigger.Regards be to Zidisha team,zidisha lenders and Zidisha mentors/volunteers who are doing a difficult job to see persons like me exell in small business to larger business.

Thank-you for continuing to make repayments and catching up on your schedule even though you've had trouble. Perhaps in the future you will be able to diversify your fuel offerings to create greater resilience in your business, although of course your very neat briquettes should remain at the core of your company.

I want to use this opportunity to thank the investors for trusting in my enterprise and funding the project of "Printing purchase " i recently presented on board .It took me little time to give the updates for i wanted to see the outcomes before ,now i may testify that there is a obvious growth in my income which not only will help me to raise my life standard to certain extend but also to plan for more growth , and also satisfy my customers as in the area where i am operating there is no printing machine ,initially before doing any printing people have to commute a long distance before they can do so .I am so grateful to you lenders ,you made it possible to improve lives of people .comment image

I take this opportunity to thank zidisha team for establishing such organization that is mend to change the life of the underprivileged in the society especially those people who has untapped potential such people are always forgotten. Before i joined zidisha about one year ago, i used to borrow money from commercial banks and i realized that it used to be very expensive in terms of interest rate, because i could work had to make profit as i pay the loan at the same time but i realized that before finishing the loan, i had already paid back all the money i will have worked for all that time and i needed to borrow and start again afresh, and about 15 years i have been in business i could start business every year because of high interest rate of commercial banks. However by last year when i borrowed the first amount of money from zidisha my business has grown more than two times what i had for a long time, and this has encouraged me even to invite more members also to benefit especial those with potential and seemed to be honest. I sale second hand house holds eg television, radio,chairs,kitchen cooker etc and of late i started to sale also second hand vehicles and is doing very well, i am very much proud to be a member of zidisha.comment image

Hallo Flaguy999, Thank you so much once again for you continued support and concern. Concerning the business, i have been doing it alone because i was still not in a position to employ someone. But now that my business has started flourishing i will have to employ one or two people to assist me. When i will start getting big orders, the work will be too much for me and i will need assistance. But the advantage i have is that all my machines are electric and therefore not tiring. Now am back in business though still weak but okay now. I will be updating you of any other developments in my business. God bless you and have a good time.

Using the loan and with the onset of the planting season, I have been able to lay manure in the ditches, bought 150 passion seedlings and already starting to put down them one by one. The loan was a welcome supplement to my project. On our farm we have an average water well about 30feet deep. Soon I intend to upgrade an already dying boreholewell pump to facilitate irrigation during dry weather breaks. This will cost about 18000 Ksh. And thanks to Zidisha I have my dreams rolling. This is just the beginning later i will have to buy pesticides and sprayer pump, foliage fertilizers so that my plants are healthy and productive. These will cost not less than 5000 Ksh, but a step at a time and I wont crumble. My parents are happy with the progress much as Iam to see that which we missed(finacial access without collateral) has been coupled with my finding a beginners job. I hope to do the best and God bless the wrk of my hands.

Hi Lenders, I sincerely thank you for lending me money. For sure you are great people, with the money I recieved i.e. Ksh. 9,000 I was able to restock my store. Currently, we have received rains and farmers are back on their farms it is a planting season. I am telling you I am making money, the beans which I bought at Ksh. 4,500 I am selling at Ksh. 6,000. I had stocked enough with your assistance I was able to buy two sacks (180kg). Everyone is rushing to my store to buy beans for planting. I had also stocked enough maize, I am sure in May I will also be selling maize at a higher price. You have made me proud! repaying my loan is not hard. I promise to work with you people to reach my dream land. Thanks and May God bless you.

Through the previous loan, I was able to raise and save Ksh. 15,000. With this amount, am intending to buy another printer now that this is time for holidays. Based on past experience, this is the time when most people are likely to be printing holiday cards and undertake various ceremonies and festivals as well. So am expecting that my business will be really very busy.

After buying a high speed CPU through your support, this helped my business for I was able to serve my customers within a short period of time. This helped my business to raise its income by 13% and it helped me so much to help my family especially my parents who need my help and also pay fees for my siblings. This brought peace to my family for they were able to consume what they needed and harmony was with us. Remembers me again.

First of all, I wish to thank you for giving me the loan. The money came when I needed to do expansion of my snacks business and it has helped me cover about 80% of my budget. My budget went up significantly after the government increased the cost of licenses. For this reason, I am working very hard to raise the balance so that I can embark on the work that I intended to do. I am directing almost all my income in raising this money and I am requesting you to allow me to pay KES 150 per week until I solve this issue. Thank you.
