I want to take this opportunity to thank all those people who contributed towards my previous loan which I finished repaying back on last Friday. I want to say thank you so much for your kind and generous contribution you gave me last time when I was requesting for that loan. I want to tell you people that you have brought a new change in my life and I have started seeing my lifetime dream come true. With the previous loans you gave me you have been so supportive to me and others here on Zidisha since I joined. Much improvement in my has been brought by you people who believed in me and my business. You have made my computer business which was about to fail become strong and hence made me open new retailer shop from the profits I have got. Thank you so much for your generous support you have given me and may you continue with that good spirit you have within yourself as you continue supporting us. To all who all my lenders I thank you so much again and I always pray for you people to be always protected and blessed by the Almighty Living God. See you soon as I will be making another new loan application which I want you all my lenders and new ones to turn up in good numbers to contribute towards my loan application which I will post very soon. I am the most trustfull and obedient person in repaying back the loan you have given me in time and without fail. Be blessed all of you and the Zidisha team who made us to meet here at a beautiful place.

for the last two weeks I have been able to make a profit of 13,000 from the sale of the cereals.i managed to sell 1000 kilograms,I also made a profit of 6400 shillings from the sale of sugar. I managed to sell 8 bags where I was making a gain of 800 shillings per bag.i therefore decided to pay more in order to give my fellow borrowers that golden opportunity to borrow money and improve their business to better their lives. I thank the zidisha team for bringing me this far. May God bless you abundantly. Amen.

I would like to increase my loan repayment because honey production has increased due to the hives that were added from the loan that was awarded to me. Good weather conditions have also allowed honey production in places where the hives are located. My beekeeping community project has continued to develop a large local and statewide clientele, with some having to come for the honey directly from the firm. This increase in purchasing of local honey local stores (rather than buying commercial brands) has greatly improved the sales of honey. This has also the clientele base which has increased profits from my beekeeping community project, significantly.

Dear zidisha I take this opportunity to thank you for offering us a platform to Improve my business, indeed since I joined zidisha there have been a great improvement to my business. Its really amazing on how I have been able to change my life and the life of my family through my business. I Just want to say thank you. The main reason why am writing to you is to reschedule my loan installment since we are now in a season of high demand of furnitures I feel there is a need for me to have enough stoch of ready made products, so because of this demand I want to clear the remaining installment of ksh3277.90 at once so that I cane move to another credit limit. So am rescheduling my credit limit from Ksh 1000 to a one time payment of Ksh 3277.90 to clear my installment. I hope you are going to grand me these request, Thank you for your faithfulness, am your dear member , Ken onzere.

Bonjour madame Kilmeny, merci pour votre message. La transformation du soja se porte toujours bien même si le marché n'est plus comme avant néamoins j'arrive à payer les deux femmes qui m'aide et avoir un peu de quoi économiser. les porcelets se portent également bien, y'a un qui est mort quelque temps après celle de la truie,actuellement il me reste 7 petits bien portant. Avec mes économies j'ai pu achéter une nouvelle truie que j'ai donnée à accoupler le 31 octobre 2014 et je suis allé retirer le 04 novembre 2014 donc la date probable de mise à bas au plus tard le 27 février 2015. Actuellement je mets l'accent sur l'élévage que sur le soja parce que je vois le bonheur vénir de cette activité. quand je suis allé chez mon fournisseur pour payé la 2ème truie j'était émerveillé par sa production et je compte en faire comme lui. Je vous demande de toujours me soutenir pour que je puisse réaliser cela. Que Dieu vous benisse. Encore une fois de plus merci de vous savoir intéréssé par mes activités.

I guess your comments couldn't mbe further fro the truth,,Robert is generally an intravert,verysoftspoken,humble but artculate,and above all God fearing,he has really made us proud,considering that he's a teenager and we have never been called in school for any indiscipline case,and his grades are also exemplary,Zoey is also agenius in school,always in the top threes,but characteristically they are totally diffrent,coz she speaks her mind,very playful(always singing and dancing infront of the only mirror we have in our house which happens to be in my bedroom)so you will litterally drag her out if I want to leave and lock the bedroom!both are in boarding school,so since schools are closing am really looking forward to their theatrics and fun during this xmas holidays.

Robert looks like a fine young man. No doubt he'll do well if he has the ambition to be an attorney. Zoey is as cute as can be. I'm sure she will also be just fine with such a powerful role model such as yourself. I have a daughter called Emma. She's in her last year at University in Coventry where she studies theatre. I don't understand it because on my side of the family we have engineers. It's because of her that I'm involved with Zidisha. I'm trying to show her the value of being open to taking measured risks for mutual benefit. I miss the days when Emma was Zoey's age and life was simpler...getting old I guess.

Greetings all, I received my first funding yesterday. This loan has helped me to be able to purchase 10 pieces of clothes and shoes today which has increased my stock level and equally given me the opportunity of reaching out to possibly 20 more new clients. Honestly, my customers are so happy for the new products I have. I am so grateful to my able lenders griebe, serene, jan73, jmony, and hilde. I pray God increase your wealth. This will make my dream of owning a group of companies come to light with the vital support of my precious and ever supportive lenderscomment image

Hello Kimeny. Thanks for your kind message. My small farm is doing great and the cows are in good shape. The bulk purchase of concentrates enabled me to save on some of the costs through discounted bulk purchases. The savings have helped in buying of fodder for cows as we are currently experiencing a dry spell. Thank you and hope to hear from you again.

Hello Joyce, I'm glad that you have received your funding now, and hope that the new screen will make your customers happy. My contribution is made for Remembrance Day in memory of a friend of mine who died as a result of his service with the Canadian Forces. He was a generous person, and he really seemed to enjoy video and computer games. I'm sure he would have been happy to help you out with a loan if he could - so now I do in his name. Thanks, and good luck!

The reason am reducing my loan repayment is because am taking a leave from my company to concentrate on school work so as to prepare for the coming exam.Thus i will not be earning much money as for now.Once am back to work I will be able to increase amount again to recover this deficit. The first loan I used by buying learning materials i.e text books. The second loan I was able to acquire a second hand laptop and a modem which am very grateful since Am now able to do my studies conveniently and less costly compared to when I used to Visit cyber cafes frequently before. The laptop is also serving me because am now able to complete my clients accounting services on time .

The reasons for repaying the whole loan is because the bakery bussiness has picked and its doing very well.I began working with one employee but currently i have five more.The turn out of the bakery every week is $235 minus the expenses.It has improved the living standard of the community through creating job oppotunities and availability of the goods.Its this big vision am working on opening the bakery in the urban area since this other one is in the rural area,and its my humble prayer that i might be given your financial support again.Thankyou for your support

Hello dear lenders of Zidisha. Firstly, I present my very sincere apologies for this lateness. I have been away travelling to the village for the harvest in the fields but the village doesn't have a bank to do repayments, no internet connection to make comments; that is my excuse for the lateness but I have just arrived. In summary, I am happy of your thanks
