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. comment image

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! Strong

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.

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.

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.

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.

l will use the loan to purchase yarns to produce more colourful pieces of Kente cloth. This will enable me to get my own cloths ready for cash buyers, thereby maximizing profit. Profit currently is around $15 per sale. l expect the profit to increase from $15 to $25 this time after selling the cloths l will produce. l will buy cotton yarns for 40 dollars and rayon yarns for 60 dollars, to produce two different sets of cloths. l will use the loan to buy a new set of yarns to start a new set of colourful Kente-cloth production. This will give me more ready cash, hence the ability to bargain with cash buyers. l am most grateful to the Zidisha team and to the lenders for helping me. Thank you.
