Hallo to all my lenders and the Zidisha team! I am very happy to let you know that my loan to purchase the water tank is 100% funded! Am very grateful to all of you for trusting me. The water tank will go along way by easing my work as I will not have to go to fetch water the 3 km everyday. The time that I will save will be used to do some more productive work in taking care of my poultry and thereby ensure that I get additional profits. I will also save a lot of money in the long run which can be used in other ways in my families lives. Once again thank you my lenders- In our native language we say Asante Sana!!!!!

Hello Zidisha Team and Lenders. I hope you are all doing well. I take this opportunity to let you that am enjoying being part of this great family. My business is doing well though with some challenges. Demand of items is high and due to this the company has raised the cost of purchase to those who buy in small units. I have also gotten a small plot where am intending to do farming . I will keep you posted on this new project. I also intend to create employment by getting two people to assist me in this new project. May the Good Lord continually bless each and everyone of you. I remain, Joseph Mwangi

First, let me thank the Zidisha team for their continued support; the patience is more than any other financial organization in the whole sphere of the universe. Am very sorry for any inconvenience I have caused to anyone. I will resume back to making my payments in a short while. The inconvenience is highly regretted. I have had issues, but I am trusting God and I also am working to correct any errors in my business. I will not rest until I have uploaded the last coin owed to Zidisha lenders. You are of great help to me; words cannot express it enough.

First and foremost is to thank you all for the support and overwhelming love you give. Since I joined Zidisha, I've never run short of goods due to lack of capital, and more so I've even ventured into other small businesses, hence increasing my income. I am now able to pay for education policy for my two kids. I am forever grateful for this unique platform which has made my life beautiful. I'll remain faithful because no bank local can do for me what Zidisha has done for me!

Business aint bad we are keeping it burning as we always say.No achievement comes out of no commitment in whatever we do. We are focusing on giving back to the community and this we will achieve through a set of strategies that includes creation of more employment opportunities for the community in which our business stands and also focusing on the physically disadvantaged.Our major aim is to add value to the society as we do our business. Expansion plans underway we want to reach out on more customers as we aspire to retain the already good number of them who have admired the quality and efficiency of our services.

hello, a warm greeting. God bless us all. I just want to convey the message a bit, that I"ve been getting a loan before, and thank God I was able to pay off my loan in a very timely. of the first loan I am very happy because I was able to cover all additional orders for making cakes that previously I always refuse because of lack of capital. more day so I can further develop my business. this can be seen with increasing subscriptions I booked my homemade cake, here I specialize gratitude to borrowers who helped me in the first loan. I intend to apply for a new loan in order to increase the capital of baking me, especially my husband also helps search for new subscriptions, and it is growing each day new subscriptions. this is the reason why I want to apply for the latest loan again. the final word, I thank you very much taking the time to read my message. once again I thank you.
