Dear lenders,

My name is Traci Yoshiyama and I am Zidisha's Client Relationship Manager in Kenya.

I recently spoke with Ms. Wairimu and she has fully recovered from her operation! Although this is good news, her business has suffered over the past few months. While she was sick, she gave her merchandise to someone to sell upcountry. She has not heard from or seen this person again, losing both her money and her stock. Ms. Wairimu has had to start all over again. Despite this loss, she is still confident that things will pick up.

I am glad to hear that she is now healthy and back at work. Best of luck to you Ms. Wairimu!

I also just viewed the interview. I look forward to watching you as you grow and expand your businesses. I think the hardware store is a great idea. Good luck and prosperity.

Dear Recheal, I saw the interview with you few minutes ago. I like your shop and your optimistic view into the future! I wish you all the best in your business and personal life!

Hi everyone!

Our Client Relationship Manager met with Recheal a few weeks back. Here is a great video he took outside of Recheal's shop, and an interview he preformed with her! Here is the link: youtu.be/OiVbLNzeKh4

Hope all is going well! Perhaps the unsalable material in the bales could be made into quilts or other items to help increase profit for your store?

• Recheal    Mar 25, 2012

  Hi something. I tried out your idea and got positive results. I took some of the unsalable materials to a tailer who converted them to small bags for kindergarden children. with some slight decorations to make them beautiful, they were readily bought. Not much is going to waste. If its not school bags then the same materials are cut into pieces that can wipe tables at homes. Thank you for your idea. By the way i have fully paid my first loan and am just about to apply for another. check my page.

    Hi Recheal -- great idea for making bags for kindergardeners out of used clothes! If you can, would be great if you could post a photo of these. Also, do you know where the bales of used clothes come from?

      Hi Daniel. I will organise for a photoman soon and post the pictures. Bales come with USA labels mostly and Nertherlands labels.

Recheal    Feb 12, 2011

Thank you so much.Am really encouraged by your contributions. I will not let you down in servicing the loan. God bless.

Recheal    Feb 11, 2011

Am so far thankful to the zidisha team for their positive response towards my loan application. Its my hope that by date 14 feb, i shall have the full amount and very many friends as heroes in realizing my dream. Am contemplating visiting open air markets outside town during market days in an attempt to add sales. I will inform you about the new move and results with regard to my business.

Recheal    Feb 5, 2011

Hi jamesBroderick.Thank you for your contribution. Am still working hard so that the full amount of my loan application finds me in the best of times.

Recheal    Feb 3, 2011

Happy that you are still concerned about me. Am ready to prove that its not in vain that i applied for the loan.

Recheal    Feb 2, 2011

hi zidisha lenders ,my business is doing fine because form ones are now joining secondary school and they are buying uniforms from my stall.Thank you for your biddings.

Recheal    Jan 29, 2011

Politics gets dirtier in kenya. That the president did some appointments without consulting his coalation partner P.M Raila is now the big issue in our country. Both the presidents and p.m sides are accusing each other of peddling romours. We as kenyans are waiting with baited breath to see how events unfold esp with regard to the implementation of the new constitution. My hope is that politics will not affect my business.

Recheal    Jan 27, 2011

hi smonroe i'm impressed by your bidding.back here in kenya we are doing fine besides some parts being hit by drought our goverment have set aside hall a billion kenyan shs to assist people and animals struck by drought.thank you and pass my regards to other zidisha lenders.

Recheal    Jan 26, 2011

Hi vlerma and CWS thanks for your bidding.im anticipating a great sale during next month since the form one's are joinning the secondary schools.

Recheal    Jan 12, 2011

Am still doing well in my business and hope that you will soon consider my application for a loan. I have now included second hand bags in my stock to take advantage of their increased demand as schools reopen. Thank you.
