Hi lenders, thanks a lot for this initiative, it has uplift me so much, the past two loans you loaned me has great an impact to my life and even the neighbourhood. Most have got to know about zidisha and soon they will apply for the same. The previous loan I bought more stock to my business because when u have alot of stock you can break even easily and the profit too is realised. The business grew tremendously despite the ups and downs though I overcome the Challanges. The profit i made towards completing the loan repayment, I will plough back to the business and part of it will start up a new business that will run parallel with the stationery shop that is animal feeds processing. When I get this funds 80% of the total loan and the 20% will go to a new business .

Received the loan 14,843 KES. Thank you lenders thank you Zidisha. The loan will go a long way in ensuring my millet farming business plan is on track. Securing pesticides will ensure that the crop grows well and yields gets more hence better harvest. Millet being drought resistant and delicacy is preparing porridge and Ugali in Kenya means it is in high demand. I once more thank the lenders for their unwavering support and Zidisha for being there for me and getting the capital in an easy way.

I'll use the loan together with my savings to import solar heater systems for two big hotels in Nakuru-Kenya. As per my projection it will help me to widen my profile in the services I render and create more awareness of solar energy which is more economical and affordable than hydro power. This way Many businesses and homes will reduce high electrical consumption and by so doing the market will grow and the profits will increase tremendously. I am ever grateful to my zidisha lenders for their generous support and may God bless them to bless others.

Greetings, I would in the first instance like to extend my sincere gratitude to your kind selves for extending me the financial assistance that I have since completed repaying. For that, may the Almighty, from whom all good things flow, reciprocate. The loan I have just completed proved to be of immense help, and as usual, i am always and constantly amazed by your kindness. I used the funds to increase my stock and also to stock a few other items that my customers would ask for, for instance, i started stocking basins, buckets and other plastic items that are essential for everyday domestic chores in terms of washing laundry and kitchen utensils, you will note that from my part of the world, washing machines and kitchen sinks, are literally a luxury. the loan has assisted in uplifting the living standards of my family, as i am even able to contribute towards my younger sibling's education. Thank you, Zidisha.
