my business is of a motor bike and boda boda here in mtwapa. i provide the service of transporting passengers and luggage's from one place to another and this business is also of high demand since the boda boda section is providing a better door to door service which has made may clients to be liking this services because of the door to door services. this business is very profitable. and the risks of this business is of the bad roads within and outside mtwapa. my monthly running cost is Kenya shillings 4000. and my monthly sales income is Kenya shillings 15,000. so this is now giving me a net profit of Kenya shillings 11,000 per month.

    Dear lenders,
    I have resolved to leave this borrower for the next VM to follow up on. My efforts have been unfruitful for about a year now.
    I have already alerted Zidisha on the same. Systematic challenges only have delayed my replacement to take over my responsiblity here.
    Thank you.

    VM Shehi.

    I phoned James today at 9.21 am . He says his financial situation has gotten much worse. He does not see himself repaying anytime soon.
    He says maybe he can promise next year when his situation has gotten better.

    I phoned James today at 1.37pm . He is still not ready to repay. More time to repay is what he wants as he absolutely nothing to pay back the loan with, he says.

    I have phoned Macharia today at 12:48pm. He says his business collapsed & he depends on casual jobs for repayments. He had also rescheduled to make repayments managable. All in all, he will make a repayment by Friday this week. Thank you.

    I have been having financial difficulties. currently one of my child at high school had to go for a trip which was a bit expensive and i was forced to part with some cash and another problem is that my house rent has been increased. last but not least, my motor bike had to undergo some maintenance thus was not able to operate it for quite some days. I have paid my first installment today( 17th 08 2013). am proposing that you give me a grace period. I will start updating my account from these month of august henceforth up until i finish my loan. Thank you.
