Kenya is one of the third world Countries that is growing very first on Information Technology Matters and that makes us the future Generation of Digital Kenya In the world Market, thus we have to prepare ourselves to meet this criteria. Being innovative in IT Business in such Country, one will be on the central core in meeting the Society Demands on this type of service and also create Job opportunities for skilled youths who may be looking for Jobs or Job experience after Training. People with this type of Innovativeness will actually need finance to put such in practice.That makes me give thanks to Zidisha. It has actually coincided with me as you are digital oriented in your system of working.This makes it easier for someone of my type to acquire financial backup and also being self-controlled in paying back the loan basing on the fact that you have entrusted someone you have never come across thus need to appreciate that!

The first loan was a success. It helped me increase the milk volumes. Now that we are heading to dry season here- when the demand for fresh milk is high, I want to further improve as well as maintain the existing volumes. To do this in a more effective way, I have plans to establish a bulking point- a centralized place where I will be collecting milk. This will give me an upper hand among my competitors as well as help be build trust and loyalty with farmers in the area.
To implement this, I have just posted a new loan proposal and look up to your support.
Merry Christmas and happy new year all.
Thank you.

A big thank you to all lenders and Zidisha team for the new loan that comes at the right time. This holiday season is a special one because of the support of Zidisha friends. I can order animal feed and do vaccination and other treatment for my sheep. More updates will come shortly.

I would like to wish all the members of Zidisha and lenders in general a Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year 2015.
Secondly I would like to appreciate the kind role played by our honorable lender to keep us and our businesses worthwhile. It has taken on your generosity for many potential people to become entrepreneurs and being able to earn a livelihood.
Personally am very happy and much exited for the poultry business that I was able to start courtesy of Zidisha loan, I have also been able to cast my business net wider by starting a clothe business, both of which are currently doing well. I hope to expand even more in future through financing, from Zidisha loan.

inancing a business has been one of the most challenging objectives that has to be met, but with Zidisha i was able to borrow without many preconditions like securities,
I was able to buy polythene bags at wholesale price and also increased the variety of refreshments that have seen my margin go up and hence able to boost the morale.
i have been able to pay fees for my siblings as i have been able to make good extra earnings.
I thank the zidisha team for the good work

Hi Ronald,right now am using industrial fertilizer reason being at the moment i dont have enough cows to produce manure for my 3 acre piece of land but i plan to do so in future.if you have some advice i will be glad for it will be helpful to me and the community around me.Thank you so much for your concern may God bless you.

Thank you so much lenders for funding my loan. This will go a long way in boosting my business. I received the money yesterday and my heart was overjoyed, i am now ready for the shoot next week.

I am planning to move to a bigger space due to rapid business expansion. There is a next-door neighbor who has decided to retire at the end of this year and I am hoping to take up his space as part of my business-expansion plans. I need more cash to undertake this transition. For this reason, I have decided to use my savings to clear this loan so that I can take a bigger one to enable me acquire the new place.

Time is of the essence, hence the decision to clear the loan sooner because I am afraid the space will be taken by another investor if I don't act fast.

photos of the new machine, and me in the cyber

I managed to purchase a new faster machine Pentium 4, 1gb rum, the computer has brought changed in that customers want to use the machine, and that the computer can accommodate complicated and heavy software. thus it has increased my earnings by 6% , i am saving my earning to purchase new machines to join in the pool of the new machine, so as customers can have a variety of computer to browse on. last week my son was baptised. my neighborhood has very closed up people who only join other in time of community activities.

On this occasion, allow me to say a big thank accepted the funders and zidisha. It had been much help to the turnaround and growth of our business. Had at one time there funders and zidisha team who came to Indonesia we would be very pleased if taking the time to visit our efforts in South Sulawesi. In January 2015 we plan to develop to increase production in view of the market demand is quite high, so we will submit a proposal again to need more funds to assist in the construction of a new mushroom house and the cost of making mushroom growing media. Thank you very much

Thanks for the support of Zidisha, my business has been growing. Your loan facility was timely. I was able to buy materials for my typesetting business. This has also increased my income level and I know with your help I will be able to grow the business. Thank you all.
