Hello wonderful lenders, I am humbled to report this to you. Zidisha community as a whole is doing wonders around and specifically to me. Ever since I got the amount I had requested as a loan to improve my business which includes selling of women articles like brass, bangles, necklaces and foot wares for both women and men It has been great since of the money I received I have been able to repay my loan with ease and also maintained my profits to cater for my household needs. This has also made my partner develop confidence in Zidisha since he never imagined that one can acquire money online and be able to carry activities to the end without problems since he thought Zidisha was a scam kind of thing He is now confident that Zidisha is real and now a great supporter of Zidisha. I want to say thank you.

I once more thank you my lenders for believing in me and helping me and financing me to boost my business. I will forever be greatful to you. With the amount you funded me with I was able to buy more stock for my shop I.e ladies wear n girls wear. I bought a total of 14 dresses for ladies which coated 1300 each and am selling each at 2000 hence getting a profit of 700 per dress. So far I have sold 10pcs which have given me a profit of 7000. With the profit I got I bought some kids clothes 10pcs at 700ksh each which I am selling at 1000ksh Making a profit of 300 per dress. So far I have sold 5pcs of the kids dresses. How I plan to grow is I plan on buying a good phone with the profits I will get so that I can market myself online n get a larger customer base. I have a vision of supplying at least 30pcs per week which I strongly beleive is possible with proper marketing and that's why a good phone is an asset to me now. I also intend to save up some money because in the longrun I want to be shipping in the dresses myself which will be a big plus for me because I will be getting a bigger profit plus I will be able to reduce the selling price to my clients since my expenses will have reduced too. To all my lenders I just want you to know that I value you and I promise to make something out of ur funds. I won't let you down even for a moment. Attached are photos of what I boughtcomment image

I never thought that I would face this kind of situation ever in my life but when I encountered the hard times in my business, I tested the true relations. All those who used to call themselves my well wishers were turned their back to me but ZIDISHA team, you were the one who hold me and took me out of that hell of stress. The help that you did cleared the obstructions that have held up the progress of my business. I will try my best to return your amount at my earliest possible as in my repayment reschedule . Once again thank you so much. God bless you my dear lenders and zidisha team.....

Dear Lenders, I am grateful to you people, you have made me proud and more so uplifted my life standard. I bought the incubator which I hatched 34 chicks although it was not 100% due to the power breakdown. As for now the chicks are 2 months old and already the second batch is to be hatched in 18days to come. I look forward to utilizing my incubator well until I reach 500 chicks. My neighbors have come to request me with a fee but I just want to reach to my target number before I do for them. After, I will charge them Ksh. 60 per egg for 21 days because I will have to pay for electricity bill which I have realized it goes up to Ksh. 1500 per month. I used some money to buy 8 bags of chick mash and growers mash (4each) which has helped me in feeding them. Also I engaged a Veterinary Officer who has been coming once or twice in two weeks . My whole family has been part of the beneficiaries and are grateful to you people. Thank you and will keep you informed of every step I take. Kind regards Emmy

MY ONE YEAR AT ZIDISHA Happy Thanksgiving to Zidisha and ALL Lenders, Dear Zidisha and ALL Lenders, I am so grateful to be experiencing the impact of the first P2P micro-lending platform (Zidisha), building direct connections between borrowers and Lenders across the globe. Many thanks for being with me since September 10, 2014. Thank you for helping me through many tough times in life. Thank you for making me laugh, and pushing me but not letting me fall. May God richly, abundantly bless you and be with you ALL. In the early days of my business, there were only five (5) computers, but thanks to ZIDISHA, my business now has fourteen (14) computers! ZIDISHA also has helped me pay for my siblings' school fees, and has helped me to help my family financially. And, now, ZIDISHA is helping me get my own building for the school. ZIDISHA truly is making my life easier! May God richly bless you ALL! Attached is a card entitled "My One Year at Zidisha" expressing appreciation for my first year on this P2P platform. Thank you so much. Awudu Yahayacomment imagecomment image
