Dear Lenders,
Am happy with the disbursement of the loan and now I wish to add the 4 computers which I ordered yesterday from Nairobi and the printer this will make me to earn a good profit and my customers will be happy with me too. Also am working on the waiver as I promised my customers who were eagerly waiting for this. LET ME NOW WITHDRAW MY MONEY AND WORK ON IT.
THANKS GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Hi Lenders, I would like to inform you that my salon is currently doing well and it is my pleasure to increase my loan payments from ksh487 to ksh2000.I hope this will sound well to my lenders,and result to good relationship between me and lenders.My business income has grown from ksh25000 per month to ksh30000 per month this the main reason why have made up my mind to increase my loan so that I may qualify for my next loan and expand my business further.
I am happy that my business is really doing good.My sales have gone high from making 4000k a day to 7000k.Zidisha has helped me improve my business big time.Don't be surprised for paying my loan faster it's because here in Kenya we are approaching high season and I really need to be prepared and stock my boutique and cosmetic so that I supply my customers with whatever they need and this is through getting good money from Zidisha.I have enrolled a few people and more still to come.Thank you once again.
wow,have been funded for the second time,my dreams are great for this funds having in mind that we are approaching festive season. am going to increase my stock of customers segment and boom to yarn more profit .thanks to all my lenders and zidisha family at large.
I would like to change repayment schedule so that i can repay the loans much faster and apply for another.I will be proceeding on leave in December where i plan to travel upcountry and look for a reliable supplier of fish.I plan to open a fish market in January to supplement the profit i earn from poultry business. I thank zidisha team for your support .it is because of you that my dream is turning into a reality.My God bless you all.
i started a vegetable business that has now grown and i have been able to start a chicken business with the proceeds. I would like to grow my chicken business with the next zidisha loan.
Hi my good people. Today i just want to tel you that my two business are doing okay and am so happy because it is you people that have made this come true, without you, i wouldn't have gone this far. I really thank you and may you continue assisting me and others. I will remain faithful and trustful to you all the time. I will soon post my new photos while on my two businesses to see where and how the shops look like now. The generator i bought is really assisting my computer business so much when there is power blackouts. Thank you so much again and may you be blessed.
hi zidisha am very thankful for what you are doing in my life since i joined zidisha my life has changed alot and i am planning to start aprinting job.tshirt printing job.i have already ordered for machine that will be used for printing tshirts.eg of the tshirt is the one on my profile picture.

Dear all ( Zidisha Lenders,Zidisha staff and Zidisha volunteers),
Let me take this time to thank all of you for this great support you have given me. Lenders you have finally done it to fund my loan to 100%. Indeed this is is my third loan which have qualified for. We have come from very far with you my first loan was USD 50, second loan was USD 311 and now USD 485. for the first loan and second loan I have been using them very well and I hope also to use this third loan the same.
Good morning lenders,
I have finally managed to get the photos of the perimeter fence that i put up using the loans you gave me. I will forever be grateful for your help.
Now my chicken can roam the compound without fear of interfering with my neighbors' garden.
Am uploading the photos in afew.
Thanks so much lenders. I am so humbled by your kind gesture to support.Once again thank you and welcome for A piece of water melon anytime you visit Kenya between December and January
I thank you all the lenders for trusting me with your money,after you gave me the funds my sales have increased due to the fact that most of my customers are getting all the products they want unlike when i didn't have the funds. Am looking forward to expanding my business more and more.
My God bless you all.
Hi Carolyne,
Im so glad to hear that you got the loan! This is my first time lending on Zidisha. I chose your business because you seem like a smart business woman who knows your customers and what services they need at different times of the year. Best wishes and please let me know how you go!
Kind regards,
Michelle
WOOI WOOI;Thank you lenders now am happy for the great support you have given me. Actually my loan is fully funded and am waiting for the disbursement of the loan. I will buy the computers and the printer and my customers I think will be happy with this.
This evening, I got mpesa message crediting my a/c with the sum I had borrowed from zindisha. Am so grard for this funding and already tomorrow, I will make an order for goods I had quoted in my application. Thanks zindisha community.
Its been a long time since i last wrote to you (my Zidisha Lenders); am well and good great with my business. i was able to purchase a second hand computer which is helping me and i was able to have a trainee who helps me learn the bureau. I thought i need some more time before hiring a permanent help thats why i picked on a trainee who is proving to be very helpful. Am still hopeful in future i will be able to do that. Otherwise its all thanks to Almighty as well as to my Lenders for their effortless help they have accorded me. Thank you again and be blessed!
Dear Lenders, l am glad for the support you gave me when l needed loan to buy books for my studies, l am getting well with my studies and nursing profession.
Hi lenders and zidisha fraternity!I am fine too.Things are not bad.I have collected my first batch of 200 birds a week ago and haven order the second batch.The chicken house is ready and cow project is on course .I have disposed other 40 indigenous chicken.The amount raised will help in payment of school fees balances.Student are at half term break for three days.I wish all good times.
This was after four weeks in the nursery bed, i had to get some casuals to help transplant and it went on well. It was tiring but fun at the same time.
after i get a loan from zidisha first, I immediately use the funds to buy toxic grass, I am very grateful to the funders on the amount of funds given oil palm plantations belonging to me now looks clean ,, then I get a second loan, I use for the purchase of fertilizer.
Later today I filed a $ 170.00 loan to buy fertilizer shortage ,, I hope the funds given to three of my fast, so that I can cultivate my garden regularly to fruition maximum predictably, thank you zidisha
thank you for the loan...it was disbursed to me sometime this week and i must say it has worked wonders...i used the same to buy extra cereal for my business...good news is, i have even expanded my range of dry grain by stocking wheat, and it is already almost running out of stock because the demand for the commodity is literally hitting the roof...i cannot possibly say this enough times...God Bless Zidisha.

Hopefully lenders you will fund my loan in good time to enable me go as per my proposal.
