Hi Zidisha, I have been able to boost my business, I received my loan on Monday morning, on Tuesday I went to the market and bought some more fruits, I also bought a blender for fresh juice... On Wednesday I had started selling juice and some more fruits for fruit salad. So far the response is good and am positive it shall get even better. Can't wait to finish paying my loan so I can get some more. Thank you Zidisha

I take this opportunity to thank all zidisha team for the big support you have given me by funding school fees loan for my son, who is expected to join his secondary school by next week. This is to confirm that the loan was full funded on time and has been disbursed, my prayer is that i work had to maintain on time repayment, and i know God will enable me.

Now I Am waiting for the time I start paying. I don't see any problem. Thank you Zidisha may God bless you so much.

I am happy that I have managed to clear my loan without a hitch. I am amazed by the flexibility of Zidisha loan and the low interest. I believe I now have a partner I can rely on for my business growth. I managed to purchase a refrigerator with my first loan and this changed the way I do business drastically. It brought food wastage to an end as I would throw away food that was not consumed due to hot weather here. I now even buy food such as vegetables and fruits in large quantities and store them under refrigeration. I get discounts on these items thus making good savings. Overall, my profitability has gone up – thanks to you lenders.

Helo Zidisha Lenders I am glad to inform you that my business has started picking up. The only problem I have is to now increase the number of computers because the once I have at times customers exceed them, forcing me to loose my customers to my competitors. So I hope you will continue lending me a helping hand till I achieve my ambitions. I will always be great-full to the Zidisha team for improving my economic standards, and also living standards. God Bless You abundantly. Yours Godfrey

Dear Lenders, I wish to let you know the positive impact that the loan that you offered me has had in my business.I have improved from very little income to an income that is average. I could not afford school fees for my kids and now I can proudly say that my monthly savings have improved to ksh 20000 after meeting my expenses. I now own one electric kerosene pump and I have managed to employ one person in my business premises. THank you zidisha

Am so grateful and excited that my first loan application got its first responder within hours. Believe that it shall be fully funded soon and I shall make effort to repay promptly. These two young men just earned their wages after spraying my one acre bean crop. I intend to do crop rotation and cultivate onions on this plot after harvesting the beans. Will keep you updated!comment image

My baby is now 7 weeks old and im enjoying motherhood,After having lost 3 times as a first time mother,this is giving me motivation to work harder than before.I now have someone who depends on me and I can't mess up.I have now started payment of my loan installments.Im hoping that at the end of this month,business will pick up.Since parents will be through with school fees and everyone will have recovered from the holiday blues.Then I will be able to make more money.Diapers and formula milk is expensive but it is worth it,because my baby is a precious little angel.Thanks to Zidisha,this is possible because I have a means of income.Words cannot express how grateful I am to the lenders and Zidisha community.God bless you all

How are you Zidisha members? Since I got the loan from Zidisha and bought new lenses for my camera I have been able to get photography jobs through referrals. This is all because of my high quality photos. Last weekend I was the official photographer for a function at Kindu Bay, South Nyanza and I managed to cover the whole event. Thank you Zidisha Team for enabling my business to step up.

Thank alot Zidisha Inc. I was able to purchase a display for my food retail business worth $30 and this has made my work easy especially when my customers are selecting the food or snacks of their choice.They are able to do this easily from the glass display I purchased. This Display has saved me alot of time taken when serving each customer leading to increase in sales. The sales that I get from my business has enabled me pay part of my monthly bills and also purchase books for my child who just started primary school.Thanks alot Zidisha you are my hero!
