Project Updates

Hello lenders,

Once again my people are very much happy with the support they've received from you. The pump they say has made things very easy for them to water their farm produce. They report great and significant growth of their crops and some have started in planning on going large scale.

I'm almost done repaying this loan and rely on your support for funding my next loan.

Thank you so much lenders.

I take this opportunity to thank all zidisha especially lenders for loan you gave me, it has been able to take me through coputer courses wich will be doing my certificate in the next two weeks.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Zidisha community and My lenders for the support they have given me since my joining to Zidisha.
The loans I have currently received have really benefitted my business a great deal. This is by increasing my sales volume by having me increase my inventory to my clients requirements. The profits generated have also helped my purchase more stock by reploughing back part of it and also enabling me pay for my tuition fees which has enabled me sit for the end of semester exams.
I do thank you for all your support and may God bless you all.

I am so overwhelmed with satisfaction and joy that through zidisha I now have extra income to cater for my wife and children. This is because my cosmetics and perfume business is doing very well. Lenders God richly bless and increase you all.
Ps Sylvester Amoah.

Dear Lenders,
Having purchased some stock at the shop, my sales are up by 89% improvement.The additional of stock changed the clients flow to the best and computer timer usage has increased as clients have a seat while refreshing themselves.
Also, the profit received is being banked for my finance to be more stable.
Otherwise as updated earlier, I underwent a guards training and am awaiting deployment soon.The company is recognized in Kenya and Africa at large (KK Group Of Companies).
There salary scale is so good, per security officer they pay 15,000/= , which is $145 dollars.

Hello Team.. It has always given me so much joy to talk to you. One of the best decisions i have ever made is joining the zidisha family.
Yesterday i completed the Paymnent of my first loan from zidisha and i can confirm that it has added a lot of substance to my corn business.Through the loan, i was able to give the best inputs to my corn and i reaped significant outputs and yields out of that. In fact, i registered a 40% increase in produce or yields which i attribute to timely application of fertilizers, foliar and all the relevant inputs which the loan i received helped me to provide in a timely manner.

Am planning to re invest the returns and profits back to my corn business in the next few weeks as the planting season is nearing. Am also intending to put to use an extra half an acre of land which i did not use or plant anything in the previous season since i did not have sufficient resources to facilitate the inputs.

My desire is to make good returns from my business and apart from supporting my siblings, i wish to one day go back to university to advance my studies and gain some knowledge on business. Its said that knowledge is power and i hope that in the near future, my dream will come to pass.

Thank you my lenders and may God bless you. I look forward to receiving your assistance again to help me take my business even to greater heights and through your assistance,i also aspire to inspire more people.

May God bless the Zidisha family.

Kind regards,
Eliud

Hi Lenders and Admin,

I yesterday deposited my first ever installment toward repaying my first loan from Zidisha, a loan for which I profoundly thank you. You are changing the way I do my online business. You are helping me up my game. And as a result, I will hold to my promise of timely repayments, at the time posting here to keep you well informed on what progress I continue to make.

And as early as now, I begin to involve the ambition that I, like you, will somewhat one day help a younger brother and sister, or even older ones for that mater, lift the barriers and move on if they want. I do not have to wait until I have a lot of money!

Again, I am ever so grateful.

Also my loan helped me taking care one of my younger sister. Her school fees is paid through your support. May God bless you all. Thank you.

I am very grateful to my lenders because they have enabled me redeem much of my crops from pest. I have worked on this piece of land for quite a long time, as a result, it has gradually lost its fertility so the crops were stunted in growth and also affected by pest. When I received the loan from my lender, I was able to buy fertilizer and pesticides and applied the pesticides on the crops and fortunately, the pests are treated. I have already applied the fertilizer too on the crops and I can see great improvement in the crops growth. I hope never to suffer this condition in my crop farming as long as my lenders support me. Thank you my cherished lenders.

Yes!! who said it is impossible for a small business to grow? A small business can become a leading company or even a factory in gradual process if it meet the right help at the right time. Thanks to Zidisha!! a helping hand in my young business. Judging from the profit i make everyday and the rate at which my business is growing, i am very much optimistic that in the near future my business will be the leading in my district. My family is ok now with no financial problems. the kids are back to school now since all their fees has been paid in full. thanks to the zidisha team!!!!

Dear entire Zidisha lenders and staff, i am indeed happy for your lending which has enable me to grow my business capital and also my business stock and also to meet my client needs through your support.

We understand there can be problems, and we want to work with you. What is really important if your are having problems making payments is that you reschedule you payments so you can keep to it. Unfortunately, you have let a lot of payments go, without rescheduling... I suggest you contact Zidisha at [email protected] and ask them would be the best thing for you to do...
Good luck.

Goodnight donors, to make my sales increased I tried to recruit others to sell children"s clothing with a profit-sharing system, they can sell these clothes in their area, I chose people I trust and needed extra money to help the family finances, their want to seek additional income but do not have the capital to sell, but to me given the opportunity to sell clothes from me, they can take advantage, I was also lucky because the clothes can be sold more quickly without having to sell my. I want to share happiness with others by helping them finance the same as the donors do. Thank you for sharing happiness to them through me ...

Selamat malam pendonor, untuk membuat penjualan saya meningkat saya mencoba untuk merekrut orang lain untuk menjual baju anak anak dengan sistem bagi hasil, mereka bisa menjual baju tersebut di daerah mereka, saya memilih orang yang saya percayai dan membutuhkan uang tambahan untuk membantu keuangan keluarganya, mereka ingin mencari tambahan penghasilan tapi tidak mempunyai modal untuk berjualan, namun dengan saya berikan kesempatan untuk menjual baju dari saya, mereka bisa mengambil keuntungan, saya juga untung karena baju tersebut bisa terjual lebih cepat tanpa harus saya yang menjualnya. saya ingin berbagi kebahagiaan kepada orang lain dengan membantu keuangan mereka sama seperti para pendonor lakukan. Terima kasih telah berbagi kebahagiaan kepada mereka melalui saya...

Honey programme....
Apart from the research project, we have a 'honey wealthmakers programme' under the 'integrated development programme' and it is our fastest growing programme. Several farmers are expressing interest to acquire our bee hive kits, harvesting equipment and protective clothing. Others are selling honey to us which we repackage and resell. We are building bee apiary houses for others. This honey programme is pretty interesting.

I also create time to work with others. In our 'affordable housing programme' we champion production of more affordable bricks that not fired to save on environment and cost of housing. We partner with architects to design houses that conform to these more affordable construction materials.

I completed my loan repayment today. I thank my lenders for enabling complete the research project. i am looking forward for its second phase - its commercialization and to join the Kenya organic agriculture network to spearhead an additional product, the organic fertilizer. Besides this, I am also in bee keeping value-chain, a project we are doing with farmers. Affordable housing programme is another project we are starting out with my colleagues. My lenders through Zidisha has contributed to this success and look forward to working with them more in future.

I have received part of my project funding.
