Hello Lenders,
I am glad to have held to my promise of repaying my loan on time, and thankful to you for you made made this happen-- I couldn't have done that if you had not first loaned me. And my computer, the computer you helped me purchase, has always been of prompt help whenever I am to respond to clients requests, and also for my university education. I will be posting photos to authenticate all this. It is authentic as I say it, anyway!

I hope to keep a rewarding relationship with Zidisha! Thank you Zidisha, and dear Lenders.

Dear Lenders, thanks for granting me the loan. I have been able to buy new stock of mushroom compost to increase and replace the old stock. This loan has provided a continuous production of my mushroom business. My customers are now satisfied with what l do and so am I. My family's needs are also being taken care of per the profit I get from my business. I must confess, loan from Zidisha is a big relief to my business. I am most grateful.

Thank you so much dear lenders for helping us again.Indeed you have given a decent classroom for 36 poor pupils here in the village of East Africa.Since you started helping us,our lives have changed for the better.Thank you for the loan.

Dear Lenders, much thanks for awarding me my previous loan. I have done quite a lot with my previous loan including buying of handbags and shoes for women, as an extra product in my cloth business. I have created a lot of convenience to many women who can now shop a considerable number of items under one roof. My earnings are increasing gradually and currently the increase is ranging between 15 to 20 %. Part of the profit is what i use to expand the business and the rest provide for my family. I'm also now in a position to take my family for an outing though not very frequently at the moment. I'm happy with the progress and i believe with discipline, determination and dedication i will get to where i dream of. May you continue supporting me in my quest to achieve my dreams and my the Almighty God bless you abundantly.

Let me begin by saying thank to my lenders and the entire Zidisha Team for your continued support. Before i joined Zidisha my small business was generating a monthly profit of about $500, your first loan saw my profit go up by 8%. Your second funding of my project enable my profits grow with another 12% and your third lending grew my profit with about 16%. Your fourth lending allowed me to partly purchase a motor bike to help me run my business. Though business is a bit low this season i am currently enjoying monthly profits of about $702 of which i spend $115 for rent, $120 i pay myself a salary, $110 i pay my wife who helps me run the business, $40 takes care of utility bills, $92 goes for savings and the rest goes for reinvestment in growing the business. Thanks to you by the end of the year i will manage to take my family for a holiday to our Kenyan Coast where i have budgeted for about $320

Good morning good people!
Thank you for granting my loan request.
The fund shall be used in increase stock of the consumables in the office in an effort to boost my production. When the production is boosted, this will eventually enhance client confidence and will eventually be seen in increasing asset base in the business.
Once again, much thanks for Zidisha supporters for their efforts in supporting the young entrepreneurs.

My first loan was a turning point in my life. I was able to open another cyber shop at Msabaha trading centre where I offer the following services:
1. Stationeries
2. Photocopy & photo printing
3. Typesetting & scanning
4. Internet services using Wi-Fi
5. Movie library

To add on that, I have also been able to start online courses at Eliademy Academy pursuing Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprise.

I also managed to rent a room for computer lessons in my village and at the same time initiated a program to offer lessons to the students who dropped outvin secondary school.

I have also been empowered to engage myself in offering civic education to my people. I happened to attend a conference for devolution in my county. I hope to travel to Uganda for a conference on good governance and leadership next month(November).

Thank you very much lenders for the trust and encouragement. With this loan, I will buy more herbal medicines to aid in my operations.
