Thanks for the zidisha team for the loan I was given, it has help me a lot and has made me a different person in the community. The money given I purchased fertilizer and maize seeds and beans. The extra fertilizer I used to sell to small scale farmers around the community. This enabled me to repay my loan easily and also paid school fees for my children. The harvest was so good especialy beans which gave me good harvest. With this harvest I was able to use at home and the surplus I sold them for cash. Lately I have harvested maize which have increased for 50%.

Hello everyone, I'm in a very good mood, the reason being that we've just ended the 2014/2015 academic year. Though the next academic year is yet to begin, I've been able to pay part of the fees today. I told my senior brother about the loan and he gave me some amount to add to the loan I was given. This means that I will get my books on time.Mine is a distance education course and so I can start reading at the comfort of my home as soon as I receive them. Now I believe by God's grace the next semester would go well . Much thanks to the lenders for their support.

The loan I received was used to boost my cereals in my store. This made a big difference with my business because I stocked enough and I got a good profit. At first my closing balance for the day after deducting expenses would be Ksh. 600-750 but when I stocked my store well I earned from Ksh. 1100- 1200 on a good day. I thus diversified by buying more vegetables and fruits in bulks which earn well from it. my first born daughter joined Form one and I am glad she has coped well with the new environment. I plan to take them out in December holiday for a treat with the entire family. Thank you so much for supporting my business. Hellen

To begin with, let me appreciate all my lenders that made this come a reality, i owe you a lot thanks for your support. With the first loan i bought a blow dyer(kshs.1800/)= and added some money to purchase a hair dyer for my salon(kshs4,500/=). With these additional machines, i was able to serve more clients unlike initially where i depended on only the one machine . Serving many clients has led to increased income per day. It has almost trippled. However my Barbary shop seems to be trod-ding because men don't like coming in where there are many women. The profits i accumulated has enabled me to open a retail shop that i ran co-currently. In addition i was able to pay my bills i.e water, house, electricity, security bills without much strain. To my family, my children are now going to school without me worrying so much on their school fees. I have also transferred them to a better school unlike the one they were in before. Im also able to support my widowed mother at home.
