Hello Zidisha lender and entire Zidisha family as a whole
I have just clossed my shop to take a rest after a very busy working day. Do you know I usually work from 6:00am to 11:30pm?
Today was a very busy business day in my shop that I have made great sales of most of my stock. I feel much exhausted and knowing I have to open the doors of the shop tomorrow again, I see the need to take a rest.
Otherwise, am doing well with the business. I introduced mobile accessories in my store and believe me not, they are doing much better. Am planning to invest more in these great employees(phone accessories).
I also introduced some plastic goods and am happy to see how they are moving.
I also introduced another type of soft drink with a cheaper price and I can tell you that it doing wonders.
After expanding the shop, several supplies have approached me to do business with them but I am still checking on this issue to evaluate its impacts on my shop.
for sure Zidisha has helped me where other could never help me and that's why I will continue giving back to you through VM duties.
Am happy to inform you that my family is fine and our twins are much OK. Thanks my lender again because I used part of the funding to carter for their hospital bills. You have been with me all this Long.
Thanks everyone and my you be blessed highly. In you my lender I see a great future.

I want to use this opportunity to thank the investors for trusting in my enterprise and funding the project of "Printing purchase " i recently presented on board .It took me little time to give the updates for i wanted to see the outcomes before ,now i may testify that there is a obvious growth in my income which not only will help me to raise my life standard to certain extend but also to plan for more growth , and also satisfy my customers as in the area where i am operating there is no printing machine ,initially before doing any printing people have to commute a long distance before they can do so .I am so grateful to you lenders ,you made it possible to improve lives of people .
I take this opportunity to thank zidisha team for establishing such organization that is mend to change the life of the underprivileged in the society especially those people who has untapped potential such people are always forgotten.
Before i joined zidisha about one year ago, i used to borrow money from commercial banks and i realized that it used to be very expensive in terms of interest rate, because i could work had to make profit as i pay the loan at the same time but i realized that before finishing the loan, i had already paid back all the money i will have worked for all that time and i needed to borrow and start again afresh, and about 15 years i have been in business i could start business every year because of high interest rate of commercial banks.
However by last year when i borrowed the first amount of money from zidisha my business has grown more than two times what i had for a long time, and this has encouraged me even to invite more members also to benefit especial those with potential and seemed to be honest.
I sale second hand house holds eg television, radio,chairs,kitchen cooker etc and of late i started to sale also second hand vehicles and is doing very well, i am very much proud to be a member of zidisha.
Thankyou very much lenders and the zidisha community for the loan i have received and purchased the epson color printer and photocopy papers.With this loan i will be able to boost my business and increase the profit margin to over 30%.This will enable me to pay my zidisha loan on time and cater for my bills .
thank you for the loan, the little money I got helped me a lot. As you can see from the picture, I bought maize and here I am selling it to my customer. it is now my responsibility to pay, long life zidisha! long life lenders!
Thanks to my lenders and the zidisha community at large.I have been able to grow my business to a better level courtesy to your generous support. With the money i got i was able to purchase more stocks to my business and out of good business that has prevailed this year I have decided to diversify from selling bedsheets and curtains and sell different things altogether.As a result I have managed to create employment opportunity to one person who now assist me to sell the goods to our clients. In my boutique i now sell shoes both ladies and gentlemen , ladies tops jeans for both men and ladies as well as hand bags. I will forever be grateful to you my lenders for this far I have gone. Thank you.
I use the loan to buy brower, set of screw drivers an a few accessories. This has help me to increase my returns to about 35%. I use the profit to increase my working capital. Thanks to zidisha, life is getting better. Things are moving on well for both business and the family. During the Easter holidays, we had some fun, playing of football etc.
sometimes in life we do things to bring us income but somehow end up achieving more saw this lil girl admiring my rabbits and playing with them and it was just amazing
Hallo Flaguy999,
Thank you so much once again for you continued support and concern. Concerning the business, i have been doing it alone because i was still not in a position to employ someone. But now that my business has started flourishing i will have to employ one or two people to assist me. When i will start getting big orders, the work will be too much for me and i will need assistance. But the advantage i have is that all my machines are electric and therefore not tiring. Now am back in business though still weak but okay now. I will be updating you of any other developments in my business.
God bless you and have a good time.
Recceived8948ksh,the money was my second project which is poultry which are local many clients prefer them for sweetness,delicious nature,also construction of the houses for poultry.personally i take this opportunity thank you for facilitating me as my lenders and having faith in me and quick disbursement. big thank you.
Lenders! thank you so much,with your support, I bought the gas cooker; am now efficient,no more loses as a prepare food by order for only 45 mins. I also use gas cooker/oven for baking cakes of different designs and shapes. Thank you Zidisha.
Using the loan and with the onset of the planting season, I have been able to lay manure in the ditches, bought 150 passion seedlings and already starting to put down them one by one. The loan was a welcome supplement to my project.
On our farm we have an average water well about 30feet deep. Soon I intend to upgrade an already dying boreholewell pump to facilitate irrigation during dry weather breaks. This will cost about 18000 Ksh. And thanks to Zidisha I have my dreams rolling.
This is just the beginning later i will have to buy pesticides and sprayer pump, foliage fertilizers so that my plants are healthy and productive. These will cost not less than 5000 Ksh, but a step at a time and I wont crumble.
My parents are happy with the progress much as Iam to see that which we missed(finacial access without collateral) has been coupled with my finding a beginners job. I hope to do the best and God bless the wrk of my hands.
Big thanks to my supportive lenders. Without your support many of us would be in one spot in business. Upon receiving the loan, have been able to restock my shop to meet customers demand and able retain them. Profit has also increase by 50% and has led in sustaining the family.
Thanks to zidisha i was able to start small in my business and have now grown it to alevel that only God knows i never though was possible. With the money i got here i was able to purchase more stocks to my business and out of good business that has prevailed this year i have decided to diversify and sell different things. In my boutique i now sell shoes both ladies and gentlemen , ladies tops jeans for both men and ladies as well as hand bags.
I am and will forever be greatful to zidisha for this far i have gone.
Below are some of the photos of some of my stock.
Hi Lenders,
I sincerely thank you for lending me money. For sure you are great people, with the money I recieved i.e. Ksh. 9,000 I was able to restock my store. Currently, we have received rains and farmers are back on their farms it is a planting season. I am telling you I am making money, the beans which I bought at Ksh. 4,500 I am selling at Ksh. 6,000. I had stocked enough with your assistance I was able to buy two sacks (180kg). Everyone is rushing to my store to buy beans for planting.
I had also stocked enough maize, I am sure in May I will also be selling maize at a higher price.
You have made me proud! repaying my loan is not hard. I promise to work with you people to reach my dream land. Thanks and May God bless you.
Allow me to inform you that i received the loan already with amount 1.295.000,- thank you so much.

However by last year when i borrowed the first amount of money from zidisha my business has grown more than two times what i had for a long time, and this has encouraged me even to invite more members also to benefit especial those with potential and seemed to be honest.
I sale second hand house holds eg television, radio,chairs,kitchen cooker etc and of late i started to sale also second hand vehicles and is doing very well, i am very much proud to be a member of zidisha.

Hallo Flaguy999,
Thank you so much once again for you continued support and concern. Concerning the business, i have been doing it alone because i was still not in a position to employ someone. But now that my business has started flourishing i will have to employ one or two people to assist me. When i will start getting big orders, the work will be too much for me and i will need assistance. But the advantage i have is that all my machines are electric and therefore not tiring. Now am back in business though still weak but okay now. I will be updating you of any other developments in my business.
God bless you and have a good time.

Irrigation plumbing materials for my farm and family
Using the loan and with the onset of the planting season, I have been able to lay manure in the ditches, bought 150 passion seedlings and already starting to put down them one by one. The loan was a welcome supplement to my project.
On our farm we have an average water well about 30feet deep. Soon I intend to upgrade an already dying boreholewell pump to facilitate irrigation during dry weather breaks. This will cost about 18000 Ksh. And thanks to Zidisha I have my dreams rolling.
This is just the beginning later i will have to buy pesticides and sprayer pump, foliage fertilizers so that my plants are healthy and productive. These will cost not less than 5000 Ksh, but a step at a time and I wont crumble.
My parents are happy with the progress much as Iam to see that which we missed(finacial access without collateral) has been coupled with my finding a beginners job. I hope to do the best and God bless the wrk of my hands.

Storing and distributing maize for local farmers
Hi Lenders,
I sincerely thank you for lending me money. For sure you are great people, with the money I recieved i.e. Ksh. 9,000 I was able to restock my store. Currently, we have received rains and farmers are back on their farms it is a planting season. I am telling you I am making money, the beans which I bought at Ksh. 4,500 I am selling at Ksh. 6,000. I had stocked enough with your assistance I was able to buy two sacks (180kg). Everyone is rushing to my store to buy beans for planting.
I had also stocked enough maize, I am sure in May I will also be selling maize at a higher price.
You have made me proud! repaying my loan is not hard. I promise to work with you people to reach my dream land. Thanks and May God bless you.
