Hi Sulis, yes things don't always go as expected, but that is the nature of business (and life!). Just do your best and keep in contact, we don't start to worry unless borrowers stop talking to us :-)

Hi team.
I am so excited that my business dream is almost coming true and real. i can now purchase shop items in large quantity and enjoy good profit. the loan i received has made it possible and i have increased my savings to double what i used to save with my first loan.
my school going child can now carry a snack to school and has almost everything needed for school. i have been able to clear his fees and yet still save towards my dream supermarket.
We spend Easter Holidays in Mombasa though it was extremely hot yet still we would afford a decent means of transport to and from Mombasa.

Dear Lenders, This Easter I really enjoyed with family and friends. Thank you for this platform.

If today life is better as compared to the past all i say is a big thank you to all those who in diverse ways have supported me especially all members of this team and the lenders who keep supporting me.

I am grateful for zidisha. My loan enabled me to make the first installment of purchasing a new print head for my Epson px660 printer. I was later able to top up and managed to acquire the head. My printer is now working well. I now need another loan to be able to buy maize and beans seeds together with fertilizer for planting my one and half an acre farm which I have just ploughed and is ready for planting.

Dear lenders, thank you for being kind hearted and generous, you have touched the lives of many needy needy people, your good deeds are like lighting a candle in the dark pushing away darkness.

Thank you lenders for giving me yet another golden opportunity to grow in my business.
My first loan of USD 55.00 really helped me so much in my business.
I bought Car Gaskets at a cost of $17.00
I also bought the car Springs or Shock absorbers/Springs at a cost of $26.00,
and paid for service. My earning has been good reaching my earlier target of USD 50.00 per day. My earnings has been going towards caring for my family, repaying your loan, helping my parents and giving back to the society through our church contributions
I would like to say that during the period I have been with you I have been blessed with a baby girl and my parents are now rearing cattle financed through my business and your help. Long life Lenders and Zidisha family. Especially me as a Catholic faithful I attended a church retreat and enjoyed my Easter holiday with my family. It was a wonderful and great moment.

Hello lenders,
I humbly thank each and every one of you for your kind support. I appreciate what you all are doing for me at this very point in my life. I pray for peace and prosperity for all. May the pocket that a single dollar comes from never lack anything in life. God bless you all. Stay safe and blessed.
Best regards,
Joseph

Hi team. I trust you are all well amd enjoyed the long Easter weekend. I got a chance to travel to my home village amd got to visit my ailing grandma. I also got a chance to carry out alittle research on some farming ideas....

As we strive to develop, its a big thank you to the whole team!

Good luck David.

Dear lenders
I trust and believe that you are all doing fine.I received my tanks as you can see inside the hardware.am very thankfully and may the Almighty God bless you and your family abundantly.

Thank you lenders for your support am really greatful for what zidisha is doing

I want to appreciate my lenders for another opportunity to walk the path of entrepreneurship. I was reading the articles on the same that have been linked on this site for us borrowers, and I must say they were really interesting. Quite some weighty advice in there. From starting lean to being one's own boss, and doing things that don't scale did encourage me not to let go of this dream. Other than helping provide education, this is something that I would like to develop into the distant future.

I want to be the guy everyone comes to for affordable chickens and eggs in this region. This loan will help me buy more chicks that will go into forming my parent stock. Feeds and raw inputs for my own feed-making will be bought, and I sure have the ability to improve the chicken coop.

From my heart, a big thank you for your continued support and trust. It is hard to trust people with your money, and you have chosen to invest your time and money in me. It is not something that I would take for granted. Once again, thank you.

Here are some indigenous birds who are very smart...literally. They have discovered they can burrow through the wood shavings and get to the feed on the other side....but whenever I enter the coop, they scatter and run back to their side. Once they get back to their portion, they act all friendly and nice. I had to extend the depth of the wire mesh separating them from the others.

Auntie Laurie :) You are a great-aunt to an aspiring arachnologist, or herpetologist (yikes!!!). He is more into the spiders and does not miss asking me a question every day. You can imagine how much I have to study in order to answer him. He is able to identify some, and I plan on getting him what he needs to excel in that (not an easy thing here, sadly).
With the slithering reptiles....he made me learn that there are several sub-species of rattlesnakes, and I still don't know which between a full-grown boa constrictor and the rattle snake is deadlier. I answered the rattler is deadlier cause it bites without provocation. "Are they found in Kenya?" My answer was, "You are the expert, you tell me what you know," and his response was, "I will tell you later." Now, that is one guy who knows what he wants to study.

He has a brother who was out of the house at the time.

Hello Evans,

I'm so happy you and your family have increased your income and are doing so well! You're the perfect example of succesfull micro-credit. I really appreciate you repaying as sceduled and keeping us lenders up to date, it makes me feel respected and not taken for granted. I'm happy to be able to lend to you again!

Thank you for sharing a little personal things about your life, to me it seems very exotic that wild animals and Maasai are your neighbours! I like to watch documentaries on TV about this, which I enjoy very much... I don't think you have TV broadcasts about dutch windmills and cows, which are in my backyard HAHA!

Thank you for sharing, best of wishes to you and your family!

Great work done.

After a long day at my business premises, I have time to spend with my daughter and teach her how to write and read as we prepare to enroll her in school come September! With the loan that I was given we are very positive that we will raise the much needed funds for our daugther to start school. Thank you to all who lent us the money yo buy a printer!

Hi, so glad to hear that the loan is making things easier for you. Happy Easter to you!

Happy to hear. Wishing you well for your studies.

Dear Lenders,
am delighted to inform you that the loan you gave me has really made me move more steps ahead financially . I bought PX660 printer which has made me popular and also increased my income. Most churches and local functions held am always invited to take photos.
my income has increased from $18 which I used to make before to $25 which am making currently.
The increased profit have used to rearrange my Cyber Cafe as you can see o the attached photo.
I have been able to open a small business for my lovely wife-selling chicken eggs and baby diapers.This has greatly improved our live because we are generating income from both sides.
Currently the sun is so hot and wild animals have started moving from the parks.They can easily be seen from where I am. Not forgeting the Maasai community who are our neightbours.
Thank you so much lenders and may God give you more courage so that you continue trusting me and other borrowers.

Hi Geoffrey - good luck with your loan.

I can see you are going to buy solar panels; are you aware of BBOX in Kenya? They provide a great option for ongoing solar-generated electricity.

Dear lenders,
I am writing to inform you that I was able to purchase the cutting machines: one for cutting tiles, another for cutting euro-cons, and another for flat stones (like mazeras), and a hand drill. All these machines and the drill have made my work easier, neater, and quicker.
Every person who sees my work is impressed and promises either to offer me some work or to connect me with others who have work to be done. I also have two houses that are under construction whose owners have promised to let me do interior finishings.
I would like to thank all my lenders and the entire Zidisha team for the financial support that you are giving me. My financial status has changed and am now able to do bigger things like buy land on which I am planing to put up my house and move from renting.
May our God Bless you all.

Happy Easter holiday to all my lenders. I am doing great as well as my whole family. Their regards to you all. Thanks so much and have a blissful Easter holiday. Hugs, hugs, hugs.

Happy Easter holiday to all my lenders. My crops are doing so well. Thanks for your help and I appreciate each one of you.

Thank you all for your marvelous support for me to get a room for peace and quiet for my studies. Learning is moving on smoothly. I have time to study on my own. My family has been happy to see me during this Easter break. We are celebrating the Apoo festival. On this occasion, we remind ourselves of the bad things that have happened and to stay away from them. We are all happy this day.

If only chickens could mature but stay chick size... because they are so cute at this stage, and easy to work with, and they know who feeds them. They are growing so fast!

Nice healthy birds...

Thanks to you all my lenders. HAVE A WONDERFUL EASTER HOLIDAY.

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL MY LENDERS...
