Thank you very much because of the way we have getting along together without any problem. For now my business I have been blessed and I would like to add my installment payment to 50,375. The loan has been of much help and it has helped me to uplift my business such that it has grown up to a stage where I can be able to pay an installment of 50,375. Thank you a lot for the Zidisha team and many thanks goes to the leaders.

Hello, my name is Traci Yoshiyama, Zidisha’s Kenya Client Relationship Manager. I am currently residing in Mugaa, visiting Zidisha borrowers in nearby villages.

The word of Zidisha has spread like wildfire in the surrounding villages of Nakuru. Although I may have scheduled two or three meetings, I always anticipate making unexpected visits to twice that amount, for the streets of these small towns are lined with Zidisha members. Such was the case today when I made an impromptu visit to Ludia Wangui’s general store in Bahati.

Established in 1989, Ludia’s shop was but a mere kiosk selling fruits and vegetables. It was not until June of this year that Ludia expanded her business, now having her own shop with shelves stocked with tomatoes, onions, potatoes, bananas, eggs, sugar, unga, baking flour, tea, soda, candy, and much more. A large portion of this stock was bought with Ludia’s first Zidisha loan. Among her most significant purchase was a cow, which has allowed Ludia to sell milk in her shop, a commodity that every Kenyan cannot be without. Being on its first months, Ludia’s shop has not yet reached fruition, for she hopes to add shelves to a bare wall, with of course more items for her customers to enjoy.

Having another Zidisha member to see (and another spur-of-the-moment visit to Ludia’s daughter’s shop), my time with Ludia was short-lived. Wanting to rejuvenate me for my remaining day in Bahati, she would not let me leave without treating me to a Fanta. She also did not want to pass up the chance to tell her lenders that she is thankful for all they have done and looks forward to continuing on as a Zidisha member for the years to come.
