I will expand my potatoes seeds shamba by planting more seeds

Hello Lenders,I first thank you for the loan you have contributed to me,my life has really changed. When i look three years back and where i am today i can say i am doing good.
This include my family and the people i assist on my daily basis like my employee who has motorcycle(tax) and my mum.
Thank you once again.

Up-to now zidisha loans have helped me a great deal. The last loans were used to buy T-shirts and print them out. The T-shirts have enabled the children be uniform. It has also helped in advertising the school thus the promoting the income. The loans are easy to pay with not much stress and is flexible and my lenders have been patient with me even when things were not very well with me

The loan from Zidisha boosted my business like I was able to purchase a freezer for my business .this has really transformed by lives I was able to increase my profit margins by 10% by the first month. The loan also enabled me to apply for the electricity in my local area, through it so many lives have been transformed I'm able to do my business long hours and the locals have been coming to my shop without gear of insecurity.

Am writing this with utmost gratitude for the loan you Zidisha lenders gave to me. After applying the agro chemicals and fertilizers, my veges looks better than ever and am expecting to increase yields by the end of this month. Thank you so much Ads68 and the rest for this act of trust towards me. Looking forward to bigger loans so as to purchase a solar powered water pump since here in Kenya we are entering the dry season.

Dear Lenders,
Greetings,

Am doing perfectly well with my family and my new project of water purification too.have been able to start helping community by sponsoring a neighbourhood rugby club with drinking and they are very very happy as this has been a challenge to them playing without enough water considering its a small club which is growing and no sponsors yet.Am very happy to see how they were happy when they received my first donation of 6 cartons of drinking.

Am having challeng uploading the new project photos but as soon as my IT guy comes will be able to sort this out ,God bless you all

thank you my lenders i used last loan to buy a cutting machine and printing papers for the business. If accorded this loan I will use to buy printing papers, laminating papers, glossy papers for photos because most customers also come for photo pictures, ink for printers and porches for the cards. most customers have liked my services so i wish to continue as you support me. thanks in advance Zidisha group God bless you.

First I will thank the zidisha team for the loan of 5637 that they borrowed me second I will use this loan to buy a spring chair for my barbersshop,to make my client to sit comfortable.

My dear lenders, I am so grateful for your help. I have used my latest loan to buy a 50 kg bag of rabbits feed 3 dollars the remaining 1 dollar has been added to the money allocated for the purchase of building materials for new cages.
What makes me hopeful with the project is the fact that I have signed a contract with a rabbit- meat exporting company to ensure the marketability of the rabbits. I am looking forward to growing the project so that I can provide employment opportunities hence help in improving the living standards in my area. I pray that we walk together every step of the journey. Thanks again dear lenders!

Dear Don, Johannes and William,
Thank you so much for lending your money to my business. You have lent me not once not twice, and therefore I want to dedicate the success in my business to you my beloved lenders.
This time I have received ksh 9920, which I have used to buy 132 litres of used cooking oil, which is the main raw material I use in my soap making project. That quantity of oil will make 250 pieces of 1kg bar soaps, which is sold at ksh 25000 at retail price.
Thank you so much,
Denis Otieno.

Hello lenders hope you are fine,here in Kenya am doing great.
The motorbike that I bought courtesy of the loan I received from Zidisha has really transformed my life and those who depend on me.
Since I bought the motorbike my sales for eggs has increased before I was selling 40 trays of eggs per week,but today I sell over 70 trays per DAY since I now do supply of eggs using the motorbike.
This made my stock of eggs to look very little, but through my trust and faith which zidisha community found in me,I got a supplier of eggs who has also trusted me and he now gives me eggs worthy 1000US dollars and above,I sale them and then pay him.
My lenders with the aid of the motorbike it makes me sale 500 trays of eggs in one week.
This has made my profit to increase to 100 US dollars in a week.
But my wish and prayer is to buy those eggs at CASH ,and my plan to buy them on cash is through repaying my current loan then Apply for another one that will enable buy my eggs on cash.
My lenders I have faith that you will support me financially again.
God bless you all.
