I would like to thank Zidisha for their support towards my project
I wish to improve my chicken rearing project, The photos shows the structure i have built to house 500 chicken
Dear lenders, i am very grateful for the loan that you gave me to install electricity to my rental housing business. i am very happy because i was able to pay 166 dollars to the Kenya Power and Lighting Company as deposit for the installation of electricity. I also spent 29 dollars to pay for my transportation cost to and from the Kenya power and Lighting Company Offices. The total amount for the full installation will be 498 dollars. Therefore, i will still be required to clear a balance of 332 dollars. I am really thankful for your generosity. I am happy because i know Once the electricity is fully installed, my houses will even appeal more to my tenants and my business will even be better. After installation of Electricity, i will also be required to install piped water and also build hygienic toilets after which i will now construct more rental houses.
First of all may take this opportunity to sincerely thank the Zidisha community for the financial assistance they accorded me. the contribution helped me a great deal in expanding my tea farm. Now I have 3 acres of land under tea which will give me great returns in the next two years. God bless you all in your endeavors
Thank you so much for the iwriter special request. I have arrived at the cyber this morning, and I have started my research on it. I am a very hard worker, therefore you can be sure that I will do a thorough job.
About the hard disk, there are some people who specialize in data recovery here. However, most of the time, the cost is higher than the price of a new hard disk. I am holding on to the hard disk because the pictures of my children are in it, as well as most of my poems and lyrics. One day, when I am able to save enough to afford it, I will definitely recover everything.
Thank you so much for your confidence in me as well as your help. I will not let you down.
I have also attached a few images showing my school life. Otherwise, I am working hard at both ends to meet both my educational and business goals. Thank You so much dear lenders.
Dear Zidisha Members, the loan has been very resourceful in my business and my studies too. No wonder I have managed to welcome new members as well as pay my loan on time. Words alone cannot express how grateful I am for the support, inspiration and motivation from the members of this forum. I have managed to raise my school fees for the last two semesters, and still sustain my business. At the moment I am working on a plan to purchase a personal Computer before the semester ends, and I am optimistic that this will be possible.

I want to thank Zidisha and more so my lenders for trusting me and giving me their money to use. The money has ensured that my business runs smoothly even in this usually hard period that is the beginning of the year when I have to fulfill a number of obligations, like payment of school fees, etc. The money has enabled me to maintain my stock and use the profits to pay my side expenses. If Zidisha had not assisted me, I am sure I could have spent my working capital on personal expenses and therefore run down my business. THANK YOU so much for your assistance.
Thank you Julia for your visit to Makassar. We are very pleased to have the opportunity visit. Hopefully other times could come again to Makassar. Thank you very much
