Dear proud lenders, through your prayers and by the grace of God I have honoured the loan. However, I must confess that zidisha has really brought positive impact into my business with more logistics for work.I don't run the streets anymore. It may interest my lenders to know that I was able to buy the cabinetry which has really saved me the cost of misplacing prepared documents of my clients. May God really bless and replenish all that you have lost in great abundance.Long live Zidisha...Long live my proud lenders.Thanks

John · Nairobi, Kenya

Apr 14, 2016

Let me take this opportunity to thank all my lenders who have enabled me to rejuvenate my business once more. Immediately after purchasing the laptop, I'm getting more and more steady in business growth . I was down, not able to access small loans in micro-credit or banking institutions for lack of a land title deed and motor vehicle logbook, but, Zidisha looks at trust building, which is a rare approach in Kenya. At Zidisha, your novel business idea and fidelity you create among lenders becomes your security. This approach will empower many young people who have no security, but, have been locked out of accessing loans in Kenya. Keep it up Zidisha! you've given me a lease of life. comment image

I am very much grateful to Zidisha and to all lenders who together makes Zidisha a happy family to be with. Again , thank you for funding my loan on time. With this loan, I will be able to buy new sets of wheel covers to sell. Most cars in my town doesn't have wheel covers. As a result, most car owners travel far distances with the sole aim of buying wheel covers to be fixed in their cars. With these items available in my shop, I will surely move my business to higher lever with grater income since many will come to buy from me.

Thank you once again for your support. In the next two weeks I should be finishing my first Zidisha loan. I wish to ask for a second loan almost immediately am through with my first one. My Son Perez is meant to be starting his primary school education early next year. Our public education system in Kenya is currently in bad shape although plans are underway to review the whole system by the Government. To ensure that the boy gets a good foundation in life as far as schooling is concerned, I wish to enroll him in a private learning institution for the first formative years then maybe enroll him in the public system later when he is more mature. To prepare adequately for this transition I will be seeking Zidisha's help in my second loan application. Thank you all in advance to my prospective financiers. Felix Otieno +254721769176

It has been less than a year now since we started woking with zidisha. We were only three in january last year.Currently Abriels Studios is offering Jobs to 3 music producers,1 instrumentalist,1 female vocalist,1 receptionist,1 music teacher and dj academy tutor. How many are they? :) Their salaries has never been an issue neither the bills and our loan repayment ratings is 100% in time. If that is not growth then i dont know what it is. I can affirm that, Zidisha and the lenders in general have played a very big role in making us who we are. Our vision is to see Abriels FX Studios on the top for any lender to boast of in near future as one of the brands theyve taken part in building.This is DJ West, A product of this school;AFX Dj Academy comment image
