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. Willy Munyoki The M-PESA transaction ID:JHG1WCQENT

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.

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 ...

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. comment image

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. comment image

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.
