Hi Grace :-)

Good nutrition is so important, I'm sure your work is very rewarding :-) Just wondering if you obtained the spices etc locally, or if you obtained them from big businesses etc?

Wishing you all the best.
Thanks in advance, Emma.

To all my Lenders I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the last loan of $520. two reasons I struggled towards the end of the loan was 1. the screen am I was looking for initially I had to order from China because I was looking for the complete screen ( the screen, hinges and covers) I could not get locally it arrives next week so that business is still pending. 2. towards the last repayment week, I fell sick with malaria and typhoid so business went down. All in all this loan was a big boost to my business because I fixed over 6 iPhone screens, sold one laptop, and at the end of all the business i invested this funds I will have made an extra working capital of $200. Thank you

The fund was useful in helping get training materials (manuals and stationery) for my Instructor-led training classes

Dear lenders, Its my belief that you are all fine. I am looking forward to your support in expansion of my business. Be blessed

I am just finishing packing Khaki trousers that I am supposed to deliver to a client.The loan has been of great help and I have been making sales that I had projected.I am almost finishing repaying back the loan.
What I have learnt ever since I joined Zidisha six years ago is that starting a business creates a valuable network that makes it easier to start another company. Through the profits that I have been getting I decided to start importing car dash cameras and supplying to the kenyan market and as far as I can tell the business is really improving. Thank you so much Zidisha lenders I couldn't have achieved all this without you, am truly greatfull.

Good afternoon my lenders, thanks for always standing with me and my businesses. Thanks for always funding my loan application. Thanks thanks Thanks
