Hi, I am very excited to note that my loan request has been fully funded. To all lenders who have trusted me with their money I say a big thank you. Special thanks goes to Paul Buchheit who has been with me since I first applied for a loan on Zidisha org, but this does not take away credit from all those that have funded this loan application, I promise to never let you down. With the money that you have given to me I plan to buy a Photocopier machine preferably a refurbished Ricoh Mp 2000 which is within the reach of my budget.

Thanks to my lenders and the Zidisha team for making it possible in my life because looking for a loan in Africa, expecially is a hell matter because you will have to stretch yourself to pay high interest rates. I was impressed with the first loan amount that enabled me to purchase some few items into my shop it made my shop looked attractive and appealing,so encountered new customers. I cannot describe the profit I made after my first purchase. It was marvelous. I will forever remain with Zidisha and I will forever remain faithful in my loan repayments.

My sincere thanks goes to first the Zidisha team for the good opportunity given for me to obtain a loan with virtually interest free. Secondly I thank my lenders who granted such an amount for my business to grow. I bought baby diapers, minerals, soap sugar,milk and many petty items that attracted more customers to my shop. I realized some profits that aided in so many things, the greatest amongst the things is that I was able to pay my children's school fees with ease

Hi Emma! It is so nice to hear from you. Your suggestion is indeed brilliant, and I have thought about it. James would tell you that I would have no problem with the raw materials for sugar cane juice, as I live in a sugar cane producing area. He mentioned in his message of his sugar cane growing family in Kisumu area! Getting cane would be easy. Main thing I'd need is a cane pressing machine which I have looked around on aliexpress website, and pinpointed a versatile one that costs around 299$. The only expensive bit is shipping which costs 932$. So I require 1000$+ for that! Business premises in my town are a bit costly to rent, so I would avoid that. Still, I'd decided that if I venture into that, I'll have to do it on the street with a beautiful small cart and a canopy on top for shielding the sun (it gets real sunny in my town). I can scrounge around my savings for the cart, but I need to save more for the machine if I am to venture into that. Thank you so much for your wonderful idea Emma, and for supporting me all through. Everything is possible and I am certain that will be in our Meals on Wheels plan someday!

I will firstly give a big thanks to the zidisha team and to all lenders for making my life easy for me. I did not use the loan to do anything bad but I use it to buy provisions to improve my shop. The loan has help my shop to raise to a higher level more than the previous or the back days. Indeed this loan has help my profit to increase more than the back days and I have use the profit to reinventing in growing my business. Indeed through zidisha, I have being able to pay my children school fees and also be able to take care of some members of my family. Zidisha have make me happy in my life and because of that I have being able to enjoy my holidays peaceful with my children. Thank you zidisha team and lenders. May the almighty God bless you all.

After reading your messages to & from James, just thought I'd make a quick suggestion :-) Obviously you know your market (& costs involved) much better than I do, so obviously feel free to disregard... But have you considered possibly selling Sugar Cane juice as well??? Just a suggestion I thought I would shoot your way :-) Always great hearing from you Caroline... Thanks for the updates, & glad to hear you're still just as chipper as ever :-) Your positivity is contagious. All the best hun :-) Emma.
