Thank you for all the wonderful photos of the students!
I would love to know more about your school! Can you share a photo of your new brochure? Are you affiliated with Sunrise of Africa schools? What ages are the students?
This is a special dedication to my lenders, I would like you to know that I spent my loan fund to construct a nice brooding house for my chicks and separated them from grownup chickens, since then I am able to raise more chicks than there before and healthy ones.
My earnings has also gone up due to increase in eggs productions, which I have used part of the funds to start a small cloths kiosk. I will be uploading a photo for these development soon for you to witness how you have assisted me to improve my livelihood.
Once again am humbled to recognize this slim opportunity that was given by my benevolent lenders, I will not let you and your effort down.

Hi to everyone. It has been long since we've talked but am just okay as usual and in business. I want to surprise everyone this morning who believed in me and my business. fast I want to thank you all my lenders for what you do for me every time i post my loan proposal which you believe in me and my business by funding it. Ialso want to encourage anyone who want to join the Zidisha to join because anything you dreamt of in your life will happen while on this place. I also want to let you; my lenders and everyone who reads and follows what i do with the loan funds i get from Zidisha that; with you loan funds you have made me within a short period of time expand my Computer Services business by buying more items and hence brought in more customers which have increased my daily savings and capital. I have also been able to open a new Retail Shop within this short period of time (opened on 24th August, 2014) just about 1Km from where my Computer shop is located within Luanda Town. The shop is really doing amazing which i didn't expect, it started with more customers yet it is still new. I have also realized that your support towards my business all this time came with a lot of blessings which i praise the Almighty Living God all the time for uniting me and you people at Zidisha. You have also taught me something that i didn't have with me; (Responsibility) which enables me and also guides me in each and everything i do since i received your loan funds. You have also encouraged me to be working hard each day i woke up. My retail shop is doing good in that it is enabling me to repay my loan at a faster rate than i used to pay before. This is so because of you people and no one else. I really thank you so much for your kind and generous support you have given me all this time and may you continue being blessed in all you do at all times. You have brought a big change in my life and in my business. Now i have got two shops; computer shop and a Retail Shop which i manage by myself. I always pray for you people every time and you continue being with that heart of assisting. Good day and once again thank you.

* Since the business has expanded , i added more staffs the child of my neighbor, hence promoting their income.
Hi. My thanks to those who have lend me money so far. Last time, after the purchase of extra infra red lights and feeding equipment, i increased the stock to 300. with that my profits went up by 50%. Where i was getting 18,000 (200$ appx) per every bird batch, i am now earning close to 27,000Kshs( 300$). With this money, i decided to increase my stock further.
So now, i need a separate brooding area to allow te main chicken coop to be used strictly for rearing chicken. That way, i can manage to raise them in a cycle, where i have new chicks every 3 weeks. This move, i believe will bring my profits up by over 70%!!!
I am an excellent manager of both my projects, and a keen eye for business. it is how i managed to pay my loan on time without any hassles, because of planning, and i am positive it will still be the same this round.
Much appreciation, Zidisha Family!!! Be Blessed, good people!!!
thanks zidisha team has trust in me in giving loans to catfish farming, these results give me a loan that you use to buy the catfish seed. hopefully I can work together with you for ever ..
This is the result of a loan zidisha I earn and I will be growing bigger as I expected. and I will finish it later .. The proof of the results of the loan ..
Hi to all my zidisha family and to my lenders,Ifact i cant regret having joined this institution i have been having a successful repayment of my loan without difficulties because i choose a reasonable amount to pay and appropriate duration and i can clear all my bills and afford meals with my lovely daughter at the same time saving a little as i pay my loan.I cant wait to see my business grow to a big multi-profit zone.All this is thanks to my lenders and zidisha family at large.Two more installments and my loan will be cleared.I hope to increase my income tremendously next time.Happy to be linked with zidisha family.
my neighbors are asking me what is actually putting smiles on my face everyday and i tell them zidisha and her wonderful lenders make my dreams come through, even my dad has started asking of how to even join this platform to service his broken down taxi cab and i tell him to join us at anytime thank you lenders am highly grateful
I am now approaching the end of my loan repayment and I must say it has been a good experience. I was given this loan towards the end of March this year and it has been of great help to me. I had no prior experience of borrowing credit due to strict and hard to meet conditions set by local lenders. Initially I was a bit sceptical about Zidisha because I thought it was a hoax or maybe they have other hidden charges. I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong. Not only did I get my money within a very short time, but I realized there were no hidden charges.
I have paid my loan faithfully for the last 6 months and I am now planning to apply for a second loan as soon I finish the current one. I will remain faithful to my lenders and I believe with your support, I will move my business to great heights.
I would like to reschedule my loan. I'm expanding my business by opening a training college and due to the expansion I will take a short break as funds will be channeled to the expansion phase and once I've finished setting up the training center I will proceed with the repayments. The training center I am opening will be operational in three weeks time and will help educate and empower youths to be able to do transcription jobs from home and be able to earn some income.
Hello everyone, I am very much greatful to the great zidisha flaternity for the great wonderful things you have done mostly changing the lives of many around the world and mostly here in Kenya. I am one of the beneficiarys of these loans having received my second loan on mid June this year ,this has made my business to climb another level on terms of profits and by this I have been able to get approximately 20% more profits making it possible for me to pay my bills and take care of my family without any problems, I have also identified other areas that I am willing to invest and I am making the plans to add more income. Below is a photo of some of the simcards that I purchased with my last loan and keep on repurchasing since they have very good profits.
Iam a very happy man thanks to Ms Julia kurnia for this great platform the technical team that makes sure that the system is smooth and working ,the staff who volunteer their precious time for the success of this platform, Zidisha lenders who trust us with their money to see us succeed in our projects, the zidisha VMS who volunteer their time for the success of this great platform and also all the trustworthy borrowers who make sure they honour their agreements.
I love you more dear friends.

Thanks to zidisha and my lenders.
Hi Christy!
Thank you for your message. I trust you are well. Yes, things are getting better. We haven't had any more insecurity incidents. Considering the clients we received last month, business is picking up and we are optimistic. Moreover, UK has lifted it's travel advisory and that will really help to boost international arrivals to Kenya. We really hope for the best! Thank you.
