Let me take this opportunity , first, to give thanks to God for Zidisha and secondly to thank Zidisha and Zidisha family at large. But all grattitude goes to my lenders of my prevoius loans which i cleared with an on-time repayment rate of 100%! With the loan, I was able to launch the Music School and also added the DJ Academy on top. Things are looking good as for now i have 5 students 3 for Music and 2 for DJ Lessons.Am conducting May intake and am sure more are coming. The students enjoy the musical atmosphere of Abriel FX (AFX) Studios with recording facilities just within the premise and i can say that this is actualy a nice begining for Abriels School of Music. Am very much optimistic that the school is gonna Grow, Arise and Shine in everything that we will be offering. For more information and constant updates about Abriels Studios and School of Music please check our facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/abrielsfx/) or follow us on our Twitter handle (@AbrielsFX)

Sharon, It is my understanding that all borrowers receive messages regarding deductuions at various stages of the borrowing process.... The purpose of the deposit to the Zidisha Members Loan Fund is to discourage individuals who have no intention of repaying the loan. Perhaps you should speak more to others that have taken out loans before you. Good luck.

Thank you my dear lenders for the first loan given to me . It has brought a great development and progress in my sewing business. The profit i gained from my first loan has helped me connect electricity to my shop to help me work in the night. My dear lenders I need extra amount of $460.00 to help buy new electric sewing machine to increase my production. This will cost $280 and more sewing materials which will also cost me $170 so that i can keep sewing more cloths. I want to produce and sell quality cloths to my community and i will also get enough profit. I will repay back my loan from the sale of my cloths and will be on time so my dear lenders help me,thank you.

My dear lenders, i thank you all for the support you gave me by funding my first loan and also having patience for me whenever i reduced my payment because i had poor sales. The first loan enabled me stop taking materials on credit because I was able to buy and pay for the materials. This helped me to always produce enough goods for my customers, as a result, my work has been successful and I always earn profit. I am able to care properly for my family and also pay my loan regularly. I truly appreciate all my lenders.

The Zidisha Loan came in handy when my Business had taken a "nose-dive !!!" late last year. When I received it, I immediately ordered a Pack of our Weight Management Program which I delivered promptly. I made some profit of about $ 40.00 [about Ksh. 4,000]. I decided to open a Business Account with a local Bank so that am able to monitor my Investment Capital Growth. The Program has 3 Packages that cost about $700. So I want to build the Capital steadily until am able to stock at least upto 5 Programs at once. Soon I will have some extra money to spare to go on holiday with my family since very many citizens and foreigners too, want to manage their Weight the Natural way... So, the Demand for our Products is there to stay ! Of late we have had Lions straying into the neigbourhood meaning we have alot at our disposal to enjoy. I have included a photo of the first Package of our Weight Management Program. As I get Results from my Clients who have seen the Benefits of our Packages, I will be in a position to upload more Photos of some Testimonies. Thanks to Zidisha. comment image

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. Thank you
