Dear Zidisha Lenders, I wish to take this opportunity to thank you all and more so, one Paul Buchheit for funding me and other borrowers.

Dear Lenders, I am very grateful for the loan you advanced me to boost my printing services. I managed to acquire a small inkjet color printer which enables me print color documents for my clients. I do print an average of 10 pages @ Kshs. 20 daily, hence increasing my daily income by Kshs. 200 per day on average. This gives me at least $600 a year which can pay school fees for one of my two daughters. Am currently expanding my shop to accommodate bigger printers, since the small one i have cannot do bulk printing of 100 pages and beyond per day.

Dec 5, 2016

Hello blessed lenders and zidisha team. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you the great help you've been of to me. After my fifth loan I was able to increase my daily sales and monthly income due to increased stock and availability of variety of products. I was also able to employ someone to work on the lpg section ( handling and delivering of cooking gas to customers). This I believe helps reduce the cases of theft and other gross misconducts by youths due to lack of employment for self sustainance. I have been able to cater for my basic needs, my family in general, help the needy, repay my loan and plough back the remaining profits to the business. I can write a page and another but let me pause here for now and say that I am happy, honored and Greatful to be one the people whose life's you've touched and changed. Be blessed comment image
