Are you able to catch up on your missed payments? If so, when do you think you'll be able to make the missing payments?

The income generated by the business is low. This affects my profit which I use to pay the loan. I request to be paying $25 per instalment.Thank you.

The loan was used to buy few bags of cereals since the requested amount was not raised. This has helped me because I had always interest with cereals but capital was the problem . Apart from the shop commodities the cereals will help me alot in term of business expansion hence more profit return.

Thanks Zindisha team. With the loan I managed to increase the stock of the shop whereby it helped me to increase the flow of the customers thus more returns.
This return has also helped me to venture in other investment where buy I have purchased my own plot with partinaship with my husband and which I'm intending to finish. This will help in term of flow of money because all the room are lental. Thanks Zindisha team for the loan, it has helped me to cater for the education of my children thou the same business.
Because of the nature of business we don't normally go for holiday because most of the goods are perishable.
Thanks the Zindisha team.
