Hello family, despite the ups n downs of our economy, am happy to let you know that the small kiosk that I had started for my Mother, it has picked up well in our Village. She normally pays her bills through the small shop. Back at my car wash machine things were not that good since 2019 when we had Corona, I had to reduce the number of youths I had to one. But am happy it has now started picking up. Thus I have to appreciate you family for enabling me to be where I am. Besides all that, I went back to school where I upgraded to A degree in Education. I am married too with a blessed daughter. If it couldn't be you family I even don't know where I could be. Thank you so much for your support. Am happy to be back once again.

The first repayment installment has been made today, marking an important milestone in the project’s journey. The Zidisha loan enabled the setup of an MPESA shop through the purchase of essential items such as a smartphone, float, and startup materials. The business is now operational and progressing well. This venture has brought convenience to the local community by making mobile money services easily accessible. It has also created a reliable source of income, contributing to improved livelihoods. Gratitude goes to all supporters whose contributions made this achievement possible.

My last project was about 20 years ago, when I gained admission into the university. Zidisha provided funds for me to start a small scale business, of which was able to take me through school and I even married thereafter, I am still with the business of palm oil sales, I buy from the locals in the villages and supply to towns. I wish to expand the business as I have a large family now. I inherited a large expanse of land and wish to plant palm trees and thereafter procure machines that will process palm oil of the highest quality.

I applied and got zidisha funds long ago when I gained admission into the university and no where to raise money to pay tuition, I used the money judiciously by buying and selling of palm oil and fruits from the villages to town. I have since completed my educational pursuit, married with children all with this same business zidisha helped to start up. After completing my studies with a first degree in sociology and Anthropology, I continued the business since there's no job available, I expanded my market base and supplied more, I am able to sustain my family of three with the proceeds. I really wish to expand more on this business by actually planting palm trees in my village home where I inherited a large expanse o f land. This funding will help lay a foundation to start the process of clearing the area.

I have tried out farming back at home with resounding success though on a small scale level I ventured into onion farming and was quite impressed with the returns within the small area I had cultivated.I have used the proceeds to help me revenue into my career work in hospitality which had sobfat given me capital to invest in the current event business that I have started up. Funding me will help me move to the next level of the business and gradually I intend to plough back my proceeds to grow the business and reach out more customers
