I used the loan that I recieved to stock more clothes for my customers. This has helped me serve more customers hence more profit realised. My earnings have increased incredibly by an average of 4000KES. I managed to buy two cows from the profit I made. The profit also helped me in purchasing some household stuff like a home thratre sound system and a flat screen LED television. So far I have started constructing a steel container shop. comment image

I THANK ALL THE LENDERS AND ZIDISHA, INC. Through your support, I was able to grow my business at a very high rate and I am proud of that. When I started, I had only a small basic printer but now I have a big 3-in-1 printer which is commercial and economical, and I also have added more computers. Now, I am able to pay school fees for my brother and also support my family, including my single-parent mum. In the future, I see creating jobs and also reducing or maybe even eliminating illiteracy by training people in basic computer packages. ASANTE SANA, ZIDISHA! (THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ZIDISHA!)

Hi lenders, i have been doing well and my business is equally doing good. Below is the list of the items i bought with the loan i got; I bought the oil for engine service at USD32.00, I also bought Puncture repair covers at USD14.00. Also in the list was Tyre tubes costing USD8.50. These were the most and commonly typical basic services that i offers daily. The services have contributed a lot to my profit especially this January month. With the new stock my profit per day is now hitting my target of USD30.00. I have managed to settle most of my bills,i have sent some money to my parents back home and my hope is that in the coming weeks i will be able to be repaying more installment. I thank you you my Lenders and Zidisha Family. To me,this is truly a dream come true and i have seen God in my life. Thank you very much. Regards, Samuel Kibe.

Pauline your business plan looks great. I just chipped in. Do you have neem trees there? They are great for egg production. If you use the leaves as feed they increase egg production & fat content of the eggs. People also use neem oil from the seeds in baths to kill mites on the chickens. It's a great tree. Good luck! http://www.fao.org/docrep/008/y5169e/y5169e04.htm http://naturalchickenkeeping.blogspot.mx/2012/12/natural-way-to-rid-chickens-of-lice.html

Dear Valued Lenders, I hope you are all fine. This year has started well and I am happy to have cleared my loan. Otherwise, I managed to get a profit of kshs. 17000/= ( $166.02 usd) after deducting all my expenses including the repayment of my last loan, the previous month of December. The kshs. 17000/= ( $166.02 usd) profit will be used to purchase few things in the shop like addition of crate of sodas, snacks, airtime and much more.... Lastly, I will once more request my dear lenders for financial help to raise a loan of kshs. 9000/= ($87.88 usd ) which will go towards purchase of the following stock: 2 sacks of Fertilizer @ 3600/= ( $35.15 usd) 1 sack of sugar 25kgs @ 2000/ =( $19.53 usd) 1 sack of Rice 25kgs @ 1800/= ( $17.58 usd) 10 Liters Cooking oil @ 1600/ = ( $15.62 usd) Totals : 9000/= ( $87.88 usd) The above purchase is done on large quantity in which I will then repack them in small quantities to sell at a profit. My expectations this month is to improve my profit by 90%. I encourage my dear lenders to fund this loan and in return I will make my repayments on time. Thank you as I look forward to your Funding.

I take this opportunity to personally thank you Sir Paul Graham and Matt B for giving your money to make a better me both socially and economically. With the money you have given I will buy new stock for my shop as I have nothing at the moment to sell. I will also put locks on my door to ensure thieves can't break in in the future. I will also buy a safe to put money in the shop and also grill the counter. This tym round I want to do things professionally to avoid mistakes I made last year from re occurring this year. I want to make profit on this money so I can pay back my loan then do some short cources to help me be efficient in business. And I also want to get some money to help the needy those I can reach out to. Thanks again and again for your kind gesture. May God richly bless you and may He cause your pockets to never lack.
