Hallo the Zidisha team. I am very blessed to come to you with full of thanks. I would like to increase my installment amount from ksh100 to ksh 1000. This increment is due to the improvement in income from my business in spite of its small size I can proudly say am earning a living from it. Due to lack of jobs I can comfortably say now have my own though very small. I will come to you once more when i complete this loan for another help. God bless you'for the Lord blesses those who gives in plenty.

Dear Lenders, I have finally repaid my loan in full,thanks a lot for your contributions .Am also grateful to zidisha team for their continual support. My first loan has had positive impacts on my business as well as my social life.The bicycle i bought has saved me over 25 hours a week thus increased efficiency. The bicycle has also enabled me to increase market coverage which has in turn increased my daily revenue from 140USD to 180USD. Increased revenue has led to increased profit and savings. With the increased savings i have been able to take my aged grandma to the physician for eye checkup,what i haven't been able to do over the years due to financial constraints. Other than that i have also been able to increase my financial support to grandma though with a small margin. In general, i can say the first loan has taken to the next level and without which i believe i wouldn't be where i am. Thank you all for your generous contributions and looking forward for your support in my next application. Otherwise, I wish you a merry xmass and a prosperous new year.God bless you all.
