thumbs up my boss

dear lenders

I am so thankful for standing with me for the last 4 years. At first it wasn't easy, because I was running my business while i was in school. when i got the last loan, i had a fee balance of kshs 87600. i took kshs 50,000 from the loan and added the rest from the business savings, paid all the fee balance. the balance( kshs 37600) i was able to increase the stock which enabled me to raise the rest of the fee for the remaining time of my schooling. I finished my master's degree last year. i am so proud of your support. this year have started another business of printing and stationery services next to a new constructed medical training campus and its doing so well. this far I would say, if it was not for your support I don't know i would have done this much. my new printing and stationery business, need two extra two printing machines. this is because the new campus population has grown and am losing most of my customers because only one machine is working. I have registered for my PhD program in Kenyatta university and am trusting that with the two businesses i will be able to raise more cash for fees and upkeep your support this time will do great work in my business as well in my PhD program. thank you all

thank you so much for reaching out to me, the money will be used to increase my business .

Margaret,

Many thanks for lending me again. As I say always, I will do my part and give you updates always.

Walter.

Hello,
I want to say a big thank you to my lenders for funding my loan.

It'll be used advertise my business to create awareness and get more clients.

Regards

Simon, I was just wondering if you would consider selling lemon juice (for people to add to water) instead of soda's? It often quenches the same desire, but is much better for health (& is also still affordable)...

Also, instead of icecream, frozen coconut serves a similar purpose :-) As does something called "sorbet"...

You seem like such a wonderful person, & your other endeavours are great/very admirable :-) I just thought I'd make those couple of suggestions to help with the influence on the community :-)

(It also attracts more zidisha lenders when things are healthy & vegan)

Wishing you all the best with your endeavours Simon :-)

Thank you once again lenders...am on track to see that my Dream come true,on the next project.
Thank you Zidisha Family at Large...God bless each and everyone.

I made the second repayment of my loan #38830 I took from Zidisha today being 23rd March, 2019. I have sold some of the cashew nuts I bought and made some profits which has helped me a lot to pay some of my bills. I am exceedingly grateful to my lenders. I look forward to more kindness in the future. Thanks

Thank you so much jochen.

All the best for your business!

Hi Augustina,

I wonder if you've ever heard of solar cooking? We do solar cooking in the UK - we even cooked bread in the middle of winter using just sunshine and mirrors, even though the UK isn't the best place for sun!

It's not electric, it simply concentrates heat from the sun using something reflective. A solar cooker can even be made out of aluminium foil and cardboard, but most people don't know about this.

If you're interested, here is a website with lots of information about solar cooking: solarcooking.fandom.com/wik...

Also here are two links to info on how to make a fireless cooker. These are often used with solar cookers, to allow people to keep the food hot until the evenings. They can also be used with any cooking method to save firewood or other fuel.

I kindly don't want to miss any repayment even if I am down financially. I will pay what I have this month and increase as my income increase. That's why I like zidisha!
