    The loan will help me to pay for the transportation of the new boutique goods which will take care of my rising customers demand.

    Thanks to my project funders led by Kat, Sebastian and Rutoh Hillary for coming through to help during this time of need.

    I am glad that my last Zidisha loan helped me to revamp my business where I was able to purchase new plastic chairs to furnish my restaurant business. I was also able to pay for the transportation of my farm produce from the farm to the restaurant and other market places.

    Thank you Zidisha team.

    I am happy to let you know that my last project as funded by Zidisha was a great success as it helped me in the procurement of new plastic chairs which helped me on covering outdoor events and helped to accommodate the increasing large number of customers.

    I was also able to pay my suppliers who supply my restaurant with grains and vegetables.

    Its always a good time speaking to the future generation and providing mentorship to mould them into their envisioned future of investment.

    Speaking to this friends at Kitale Youths Group and shading more light on the careers in SME, Leadership, Governance and Communication was immensely fulfilling.

    I will be coming near you soon.

    Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing". It waits at the right time to act, for the right principles, and in the right way.

    Our business premises was affected by fire breakout that happened during the night burning down all our properties. We also faces challenges from the county government relocating us to a different area. It has been hard raising back the lost stock but now the business is active and running.

    So I can clear up my loan faster that other people can benefit from the same and may be I can qualify for my next loan the next time I need a loan I also want to increase my loan limit paying loan for a long period of time is a wonderful idea but I still think I can pay more than my current installment. . .
