Greetings Sefah, this is James. I am from the USA, am 71, married with 2 grown up children, Andy and Amanda. I read your story and I am very impressed with you and how you help other needy people when possible. I consider it an honor to make a loan to you to help you in your business. I am sure you have the oven by now and I pray it is working good for you. I know you are working hard to help your children have a good future, and help others too when possible. If anyone can succeed in business it is you. I have confidence in you. Well Sefah, I am sure you already know this, but you need a partner in your business, but not just any partner, I am talking about the Lord. Make the Lord your number one partner. Keep up the good work of serving others when possible. Every day I am praying for you, your family, and your business success. Take care, and keep on keeping on. Love to all and God bless. James

Hello son, this is dad. No I don't mind you calling me dad or daddy, all my other Kenya kids do. Son, I have been wondering how you, and your business are doing, and how is the family? I hope your business is doing well and getting even better. Hope the family is also doing great. I have been praying for you all every day. Son, in your last letter you said that you are working on expanding the business and I would like to know what your plans are for doing that. Are you thinking of expanding business in other nearby locations (other towns or cities)? Of course you would need another bicycle, and have to hire a trustworthy person to deliver the eggs in that location. Anyway, have you thought about having a business card to give to people and businesses to advertise your business? You would have to name the business and have your cellphone number on the card. I suppose you do keep records of your customers, their cell numbers, quantity of eggs they need, when their delivery time is, and other information you feel is important. If you have a lot of customers it can be difficult to remember every detail. Do you have a good chain and lock for your bike? Son, I know you are busy but when you have time, if possible, I would like to know a little about your family members. Would also like another photo of you. No hurry. Well son, remember I love you, take care, and keep doing your best. Dad

Thanks to the Zidisha team. Through my business profits, I have recently acquired a Ppr-pipes joining machine. Today, I got a job to install an electrical Pedrollo submersible water pump in a client's borehole, 130 feet deep. I left the client so happy and satisfied with the installation. He and his family are now off to the hard duty of pulling water every morning using a hand winch. comment image

Dear Zidisha team, it has been a good journey with you. I have concluded repaying my fourth loan.I used this to purchase a new carwash machine, i also bought some parts and serviced my car. I also used the balance to buy a new I-phone. This has been of great help indeed. I must say that besides the loan, i have developed a culture of financial independence and discipline. Thus, going for the very priorities set before acquiring a loan. I plan to fully fix my cab into a much more stable condition, it currently needs some parts which will cost me $200. I plan to invest the remaining balance into the salon and barber shop by acquiring new shaving machines, stock for salon and use the balance to clear my school fees at Moi University. Thanks Zidisha team

halo lenders i just want to thank all of you for the support and trust you have in me by lending me your finances to improve my business, the completed loan of 38000KES i used it in buying more stocks for the shop, last year was not a bad year for the business since i manage to open another branch along the major road of kitengela, this has made me increase number of workers from one to four i.e 2sales ladies and one machine operator. as a family i would say that this time i managed to buy a piece of land in the rural area ,this i will either build or wait for an opportune time to resell for a better profit,i haven't decided yet. my daughter Hope Faith is now in class seven and doing well in class since there is no strains of paying her school feel and i thank God for helping me that this time round she wasn't sent home for the fees. at the beginning of this month, i organized a group of people and visited an orphanage just within town ,that was a wonderful experience to me realizing that i can also share with the needy,am looking forward to do more. once again thank you lenders for your support

Hi lenders.. Am so happy that my loan is fully funded and i thank you so much for that. you guys are the key to my future and i really appreciate that. this new loan will help me so much, as i will use it to boost my business. Am working with approximate 10 sacks (90kg each) in a month and that still isn't enough considering my customer needs, and so i will add my monthly stock to be around 15 sacks or more. with this, i will have increased my monthly earnings and that will surely help me achieve more in life.

Dear Wendy, everyone loves their uniform, because it's so beautiful. This 6th March was Ghana independence day, and we wanted to go and match but not all of them have this beautiful uniform, so we couldn't go. But next year we will definitely be part of the match. Please, they were 61 in the month of June 2015. But as I'm speaking now, I have 52 girls and 91 boys, and their total are 143 children. Please, you will definitely see them here. Thank you.
