Dear Lenders, I hope you are all keeping well and full of energy. My family and I are fine too. Kindly allow me to express my gratitude for your contribution towards improving my quality of life. I thank you for helping me improve my business, without your help I would still be struggling to stabilize but now I am a happy man. I am working more harder to clear my loan as soon as I can. I believe this is the only way to elevate my business and standard of life to even great heights. I thank you once more and appreciate your every continued support not only to me but also to other borrowers in this organization. I wish you and your loved ones all the best in whatever you do. I will still be counting your support when I post another loan. Have a great time and much love.

Happy 2017 to Zidisha, all my investors, supporters and followers! In 2016 are paths crossed and we did amazing things in the lives of over 1,200 people! Together we distributed over 200 solar lamps directly impact 200 lives and indirectly over 1,200 people! We did this together because your resources and belief in my social business helped me reach the people in my community who have no chance to connect to social media and later on manage to apply for a loan here on Zidisha. Its the loans you gave me that has allowed people like Lawrence Banda (in the picture) have access to a solar lamp and be able to pay as low as $0.10 through MTN mobile money! Today its possible to distribute these solar lamps to people who need it most; poor households. Thanks to Zidisha and people like you who have committed to helping entrepreneurs like me ! ZIKOMO! 2017 looks very bright for my social business because of your belief in me and the social impact every solar lamp brings to people who are not connected to the grid. I invite you all to continue with you belief in this cause! Together we are making a better world for the future generation. Together we are helping families to save over $1,000 in the next 5 years for switching from kerosene use to our solar lamp products. Together we are enabling more children study for more hours and achieve their dreams of attending Universities. Together we are helping families increase their nutritional intakes. Together we are making our communities a better place to live for everyone. Join me as we impact more lives together in 2017 through our Rent-to-Own Program!comment image

Hi Laurie, Hope all is well. You are absolutely correct, Baraka is Blessing in Swahili. Unlike English where pluralisation of words is achieved via suffixes like 's', we pluralize words using prefixes such as 'ma', 'vi' and so on. Though Baraka doesn't have a plural form... It is both singular and plural! As other words in its category. Pluralisation of words is dependent on the category or 'ngeli' which the word is. An example is Kiatu(shoe) which is in the KI-VI category, hence, we pluralize it by replacing the (Ki)atu prefix with (Vi)atu in plural. Or Gari (Car)--(LI-YA) category--we say (Ma)gari. Hope it helps? ☺ Best Regards, Samuel Wainaina

Thank you very much my dear lenders and the zidisha team. I was really worried about something in my workshop but thanks to you my 2017 seems to start nicely and really hoping that these blessings flow throughout the year. This loan amount will have a very big impact on my business as a whole, first is a upgrade to my workshop thus increasing working space by adding some extra working tables ant try increasing services renders by at least two persons, but for now I won't be able to do the marketing as planned but holds high hopes that things will work out for that part too. Thank you very much and my the almighty God do bless you and your families, happy 2017 .
