    Hello to zidisha team.
    The reason for the change in the instalment amount is due to the harvest that i had after the long rains in kenya that made me sell maize and beans.
    I also take this opportunity to apologise for the late payment of the last fund that i was running with.
    Lastly I would wish to thank Zidisha for their patience when thing did move well for me and request to continue being astrong member.
    Thank you.
