Dear lenders,
I appreciate very much for your good works and the smiles you are putting on faces of many borrowers without you getting money to work to realized their dreams wouldn't have come to fruition of which I am no exception.
My customers are sewing clothes for the easter festivity and my retailers are also demanding for more clothes to be sold because of the easter. This has seen more profits in my work and therefore thought it wise to increase my repayment amount so that lenders can lend to more and new borrowers.
Thank you

I got my loan towards the end of last year. I had asked for a loan to enable me buy a printer for my printing work. I am glad I got the money on time and went ahead to buy the printer which has become a very valuable asset in my business. I no longer have to have my work printed elsewhere since I do most of my works under my roof. I am humbled by your kindness and I can only say thank you and may you continue with the same spirit.

I purchased Skype cameras and headphones, for the loan given by zidisha team. that makes my customers like my cyber, cos their is enjoyment with music and communicating with people hum are outside my country like U.S. people are admired my cyber from yesterday I close my cyber at 11.00 from 9.00. yesterday I earns Kshs. 2,064 from net only, the other days back I was earning 1,873 but new am ok as I see thanks zidisha and my friends hum told me about the zidisha. I will also invent my friends about your good work zidisha team do about has.

thank you zidisha team for funding my loan, here i have the money for my m-pesa business.

The first loan that I received has had a significant impact on my life as I am now able to fend for the orphaned children and myself more. The loan helped me in setting up a shed/stall where I am now able to sell clothes at our local market as compared to the way I used to do it initially which was through hawking to friends. I also used part of the funds to add the stock for my business and it is now doing quite well. The profit I am making is not 100% but it is enough because I make at least 18$ profit for each bale I sell. One bale I buy at least 35$ and I can now afford to buy more bales through the profits that I have been making. For the Easter holidays, we intend to spend time at our local church with the children where we intend to have fun activities and games since the children have closed school. It will be a good time where the children will share experiences with each othr and encourage one another. We are also planning with an NGO to come and give a motivational talk to them as to encourage on the importance of having upright and what society expects of them. This we have managed to plan in collaboration with our local community and it is my hope that it will be a success and impactful to the children.

It's my greatest experience for far in borrowing,paying a loan with no stress.I love borrowing here because it has help me grow than before.My business is growing and the most important thing is am able to support my family,thank you very much.

Dear lenders, I am glad to inform you that I have repaid in full the loan that you granted me.

The bicycles and tricycles that I bought have been a favourite for my customers and this resulted to high sales and in turn good profits.

This in turn assisted me in repaying my loan on time and saving some amount which I intend to use some to take my wife and kids to a well deserved holiday at the coast over the easter holidays.

All this was made possible because of your generous contributions and for that my family and I thank you all whole heartedly.

Am so grateful to you lenders. The money you advanced me of KES 9034 has been of great help to my business. My clients are now enjoy larger disk space on their respective accounts.

I have also bagged 4 new clients since February and all I can hope for is a better future ahead.

Thank you all and God bless you abundantly.
