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.

Thank you so much to all who funded me. I did bought the Epson printer and its real made a big difference in my cyber business. I real repaid my loan on time due to the one hundred percent profit I made due to the availability of the new Epson printer. I have applied for another one and its my hope that you will not hesitate to fund me. I would like to buy a laptop so that I may be able to work at home at night when the work is more.

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.

since I bought the flashing equipment my business has improved and my earnings have increased, I have used the income to pay back my zidisha loan which I completed repayments last week and reinvested in buying phone repair parts like screens. I also took a course in laptop repair and am currently getting many clients seeking for laptop and repair tablets and many others looking for laptop accessories like chargers, hard disks and batteries and I have found a source where I will be buying such accessories and low price from a dealer who imports them. am so greatful to the lenders because they are helping us actualize our dreams which were limited in the past by financial constraints.God bless you all.
