Hello TomF925 and Katie. It has been a good year for us. We have managed as a group of 6 to cater to the basic needs of the urgent cases (08 senior citizens aged 80 & eldest at 115 years of age). We have embarked on wheelchair cases starting with the eldest who is 115 years of age. He had not seen daylight for over 07months. See picture of his reaction to light in Oct this year and mid Nov 2016 on the newly purchased wheelchair at a cost of Kes 9000 (approx usd$ 90.00). We have about 5 of 8 more who are in need in this area alone. Slowly but surely we strive to assist at least 50 others in various locations before we establish a home to accommodate many more neglected seniors. My sincere Thank-you to my lenders.

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.
