Hi my good lenders, I was able to purchase the heifer as I had said in my proposal.Its doing very well.I bought it at ksh 16500 which is equivalent to 165 dollars.God is great its doing well only that we are experiencing some drought season so the fodder crops are not that many so we are being forced to buy from our colleagues who have bigger shambas

Hellen · Nairobi, Kenya

Sep 1, 2015

This is to inform you that i'm very grateful. I received my loan and I've increased my stock in form of adding more materials and other accessories. since i used to rely solely on customers' stock, i can now boast of a variety of my own since customers can now come to choose from my variety. I am optimistic my sales will increase since now i have variety from which my customers can choose from. I'm giving myself one month from which I'll have realised a difference in form of sales and other achievements. During school holidays, children are all over as in they are up and about. The environment is more noisy because they have all activities going on as in competition in all sorts! Bonding is also essential, as that's the time one can get to know more about the children's well being and shortcomings! They are now back to school. Hoping to keep you posted on all developments!!

Ever since joining Zidisha early this year, I have seen my business grow significantly. This affordable credit is what my business needed to grow and the future looks very bright, thanks for your support. With the previous loan, I was able to buy a knapsack and got a deal to fumigate a commercial building and this opened doors to many such opportunities.
