This will help me to a greater extent because there is the demand for these fruits but I didn't have them. My revenue will rise as well and I will be able to take good care of my daughter. A very big thank you to my lender.

Thank you very very muck Mr. Paul Graham and the Zidisha Team. We planted the Craspedia seedlings in 2 phases and expect to start selling in February. Growth has been slower due to the on-going unusually dry season. With the loan, we are going to use Ksh.4,000 for purchase of organic manure from a neighbouring farm. This will help improve quality of soil and water retention. In addition, Ksh.20,000 will be used as deposit towards hire purchase of a 10,000 litres water tank valued at Ksh.98,720 which includes delivery to the farm. The balance of about Ksh. 78,720 will be payable in 24 months @ Ksh.3,280 per month from the proceedings of flower sales. Having a water tank will help keep the flower plants fresh and allow for constant flowering so that we can harvest on a weekly basis. In addition, we can be able to diversify to other horticultural products which are in high demand in the local market; as well as provide a source of clean water for the families that assist at the farm. Once again, thank you to you Mr.Paul Graham and the Zidisha Team. PS: Having a challenge posting progression images...comment image

My second loan activities are in progress, I was able to transplant my pepper seedling in November, 2016 and now the pepper are now fruiting, very soon I will be harvesting them every three days.Now I employed eight labourers on my farm and am very happy for the help Zidisha has opportune me. Thought I have not starting harvesting jet but am really go to get much profit of about 80% increment than before because this time is dry season and vegetables are always in high demand.In fact I have bought a motor cycle for my wife with the interest I got from my earnings. My hobby is swimming in which I does it mostly after Church service

I wish to buy high quality energy saving bulbs, wires, fans and many others which I am unable to sell on a large scale in my shop currently. This will go a long way to increase my weekly earnings by about 60 percent which will help me procure my sick dad's drugs and support my two younger sibling's education. A very big thank you to my lenders who have at last put me on the path of achieving my dreams. One against, I say thank you.

Hello, I wish first to express my heartfelt gratitude for the first loan that was lended to me. It pushed my business to greater success that i hadn't fathomed. I am deeply moved by the gesture and wish this wonderful site, forum and most of all distinguished lenders, be blessed beyond measure. I was able to purchase ink bottles for ink refill, and took advantage of the demand that had presented itself, and many residents around my business premise now depend on my print business for their print jobs. Once again, thanks alot.

With deep heart I humbly and meekly take this opportunity to thank you for considering me for the loan. It's an everlasting joy which will remain in my heart for ever and ever. I will inform my aged mother about good things you have offered to me without knowing me physically. May the Almighty protect you and bless you abundantly. Since there is a seriously prevailing drought in Kenya I will use the money for harvesting and storage. It will help me to do the harvesting faster.
