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.

Zidisha is the place to be. Since I joined, my life and aspirations have improved. I can do what I was not able to do before. From my business, I have inspired more people in the community. And as proof of this, interested community members have come together to do more business to gain more profits and they mentor other people on how to do the same.

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

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
