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.

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.

To my lenders. I am now at the tail end of my loan repayment. This is my first loan ever and I must say that I was a bit apprehensive when I applied for this loan. I am glad my fears were unfounded since I have found Zidisha's terms to be very friendly. The money has been of much help to my business since I was able to buy a few cartridges which I then sold at a tidy profit. I hope to keep a clean record as I prepare to apply for another loan soon.

I have the students already using the materials and the computer I have bought now is making my work easier by far.
