Hello lenders hope you are fine,here in Kenya am doing great.
The motorbike that I bought courtesy of the loan I received from Zidisha has really transformed my life and those who depend on me.
Since I bought the motorbike my sales for eggs has increased before I was selling 40 trays of eggs per week,but today I sell over 70 trays per DAY since I now do supply of eggs using the motorbike.
This made my stock of eggs to look very little, but through my trust and faith which zidisha community found in me,I got a supplier of eggs who has also trusted me and he now gives me eggs worthy 1000US dollars and above,I sale them and then pay him.
My lenders with the aid of the motorbike it makes me sale 500 trays of eggs in one week.
This has made my profit to increase to 100 US dollars in a week.
But my wish and prayer is to buy those eggs at CASH ,and my plan to buy them on cash is through repaying my current loan then Apply for another one that will enable buy my eggs on cash.
My lenders I have faith that you will support me financially again.
God bless you all.
previous loan enabled me buy spare part that was much needed for my hammer mil business, As my credit limit increases, I would like to borrow a higher loan amount that will enable me to acquire the much-needed hammer mil motor and screen mil equipment
The loan will be use to mobile phone accessories such as covers, chargers, hands-free kits, batteries etc. This will help me in growing my phone business to make good money to meet my family needs.
Thanks to my lender's, thanks to zidisha.
The loan received was used to re-roof my koisk and am able to complete the re-roofing with the loan,this has enable me to start working again. Except that I have to fix my matter if which I intend using my next Loan. Thanks to my lenders, am able to make some profits by 50percent.this has enable me to pay my utilities, school fess, rent, and others has stated in my proposal.

First is to appreciate for the already completed loan. It have really improved my life n the life of my family. My son has just done his kcpe. Am happy cos both of them have been attending the best school in the area.
Thank you for the loan I received it helped me to weed my cabbage, the remaining amount of money I applied pesticides in my vegetables, the estimated amount was £15 , am proud with zidisha, I look forward to develop because of you people
Thank you so much lenders and thank you Zidisha Team, for the flexible and affordable loans giving. The loans have changed a lot of my business activities and i can do more business with less time and gain more profit, through the machines i bought such as Colour Copier Core i3 Computer for the control of my cyber cafe. Pork is consumables here in my Village and i am making money of 55% from the sales of pork.. All the above is the help and support of Zidisha and Lenders. Thank you very much
Though I have never attempted to work with online lenders, I must admit I'm very please that Zidisha is REAL and I'm developing interest as time goes.
The loan I sought helped me in that it saved me time and did packaging for my sweet potatoes and transferred them to market by the expected time. I appreciate this a lot and will forever be grateful.
Thank you ZIDISHA lenders for the 80 dollar loan.It has really impacted my stationery business by adding stock such as calculators, novels and programming books which I managed to sell among my college friends and was able to get pocket money ,support orphans in Zimmerman and take part in Marie Stopes programs on educating youths on the importance of family planning for the future.I really appreciate the support through the funds that is make me independent and be able to apply what I learn pursuing my business degree at JKUAT University.
Hi readers ,I appreciate for the support you have been giving me ,God bless u all as we continue to do business together, i have used the loan well ,and i well continue with the same spirit so that i may be able to support my family and community
Hallo lenders.this has been the longest year for my life and family since I have been on and off with pneumonia.. but I thank God he has enabled me to pay my loan.. I managed to build three houses with the loan and added three more with the proceeds.. this has helped me pay my daughter's school fees with ease since my tailoring business went down.. with the little income I also managed to visit some students and donated panties and sanitary towels in area that are prone with clashes.. below receive the photos.. thank you all for your continued support
Dear Zidisha Lenders,
Thanks for the loan support for my business. I have been able to carry out the follwing with the loan you gave me last time.
Restocking of my shop which included buying of stationery items in bulk for resale.
Re branding of my shop .
With the above activities I have heard an increase in sale by 30% margin.
I have also been able to start a saving plan with my family which we contribute money every month Kshs. 500 which we use to help each other.
I have attached a photo
Hi Margaret,
Than you for the great advice, i will take it into consideration. I think we may have to do an audit of our dishes, the cost of ingredients, and the mark-up on each item and calculate what we are making per dish while including all the condiments used, such as ketchup or parmesan cheese added at the table.
We will also take into account all our costs, including labour, rent, cleaning, supplies, and utility bills. Estimate an average number of monthly customers, using previous months’ till takings if we're unsure of the figure, plus how much people spend on average. With these numbers to hand i think we should be able to work out how much profit we’re making on individual recipes, and overall. Im sure having all this information in mind will help us see what part to focus on during the revamp. For now, i will use the money to purchase more comfy chairs for my customers. I will start with two first. Thank you so much
Man, honestly we came along way from nothing at all, from streets, I use to be a street boy,so tell me what can I lose when I am with my worldwide lenders,who stake their trust on my capabilities, I have been down but I feel good to be up, okey,I started from nothing ,it is alright, now I am at the top of my game and I said "I am moving at the speed of light". Wishing you a great time lenders,.
Hi,want to give all of you a lot of thanks for your finical support.

God bless you so much.
Greetings to my Zidisha team and my lenders ,,i would like to thank you so much for the support you have given me ,my previous loan i was able to increase my chicken broilers to an amount of 1400,there's been a lot of challenges but by the help and grace of God have overcome all obstacles Knowing that every business there challenges .,. my prayer is may GOD continue blessing you for being part of my business journey you've made it possible
I thank my lenders for their support towards my sewing business. I used the funds to purchase sewing materials to sew school uniforms for a school. This support was very timely since I needed some amount of money to top up what I already had to be able to buy the items. This has increased my earnings since it was not affected by increment of the prices of the items. As a result, there was no waste of time.
I managed to purchase more goods with the loan I received hence the purchase made a difference in my initial profit of Kshs 1500 per week to Kshs 1900 per week. My neighbourhood is full of small scale traders hence showing the picture of entreneurship culture. I have grown personally since I almost gave up before the loan rescued me to make my business stand.
Thank you for the loan amount you offered me, it has really helped me to manage my project, I bought pesticides and fertilizers, the remaining amount I paid workers,
Finally finally, this is how far the good Lord has bless me through noble lenders of Zidisha.
3 bed rooms,
1 hall,
1 dinning,
1 kitchen,
1 store room,
1 office, and
spacious car park.
Thanks to Zidisha for supporting me this far. To my lenders, you will always remain the best and may the good Lord bless you all. Had it not been you, I wouldn't have made it this far. Thanks once again.
New business has been added to my printing business and will soon update it on this platform if God permit.
To all lenders, please follow me on this page for quick update of my project.
Dear Lenders,
The just completed loans was used to buy new printing papers stock for the samba cyber cafe.
Being the end of the year, businesses and institutions are preparing books, receipt books and invoices for their next financial year and we took advantage of this and did good business.
The printing papers brought an additional profit of KES. 5,000 which was achieved as were able to deliver customers work on time.
The amount has been reinvested in the business to buy more printing papers stock.
The month of October was also a good month for my family. My son graduated from his pre-school and will be joining Primary school next year.
Thank you for your continued support

Am one grateful Zidisha client ,I want to say Thank you to my Funders and Zidisha at large for this platform. At first it was so difficult to start my business, and I was introduced to Zidisha and am so grateful because I managed to start my business with the fist funding I got which I serviced to the end. My Business started to grow and these brought forth the need of expansion to my cake and bread shop .
Then it so happened that I needed to moved my business and family to a different county, which I did and also opened a shop, a bigger shop which I continued to do the same business under the same name, since I was new in that location my business encountered a storm and it didn’t pick up well .But am so hopeful that with Zidisha i will be able to achieve success.
i delayed in my payment of the loan,something i regret and i will do my best to pay the balance on time.
Thank you Zidisha and my Lenders
The Zidisha loan I received really helped me to make necessary fee payment in my school, and this helped me have full concentration on my academic work for the semester. I am grateful to all Zidisha lenders for you are really transforming lives. I can't thank you all enough for the good work and smiles you put on my faces. God richly bless Zidisha Team, Director Julia and all you lenders abundantly.
Hi Lenders, today I managed to upgrade my data to plan as promised earlier in my loan proposal. The service provide had to lay a new cable from my router to the aerial/receiver just to make sure things work as expected. I took a few snaps of the material used and I will post them soon.
You will notice in these photos the old cable, and the new cable that was laid today, we reused the dish/aerial because it was still in good working condition.
I take this chance to thank you all for supporting my dream. May you be blessed abundantly.
The money I last serviced which I was lent was of such great benefit to me because I was able to buy a grand new motor bike which enables me to serve my customers very fast and efficiently and of course they come in large numbers those who are my customers .
I have made a lot of profit since the time I bought the motor bike taxi and I have also increased in getting more customers in the last few months
Thanks a lot for having lent me in the past am looking forward for you to lend me again to buy another motor bike by adding more money from my own account.
Thanks a lot my dear lenders. A photo of me next to the tank which i purchased after I topped the difference of the money you loaned me. The tank costed Ksh.70,000/-Thanks a lot, i appreciate.
The last 3 loans have had tremendous change in my pife and those around me. The profits i got really helped me in corporate social responsibility. I have helped some widows and orphans.
Currently am supporting 4 girls in high school one is completing this year and the three still continuing .
I am so glad that the profits have enabled me to start a bigger venture that will get me even better profits to enable me support girls who would otherwise not have an opportunity to study.
I used the loan to improve my grocery shop stocks,initially I never used to stock wheat flour due to limited capital,but now after getting aloan from you good Samaritans I can stock the same hence I can foresee abrighter future for my Family.Thanks in advance.

Purchase large format printer
I thank my lenders for their support towards my sewing business. I used the funds to purchase sewing materials to sew school uniforms for a school. This support was very timely since I needed some amount of money to top up what I already had to be able to buy the items. This has increased my earnings since it was not affected by increment of the prices of the items. As a result, there was no waste of time.

Clothing sale
I managed to purchase more goods with the loan I received hence the purchase made a difference in my initial profit of Kshs 1500 per week to Kshs 1900 per week. My neighbourhood is full of small scale traders hence showing the picture of entreneurship culture. I have grown personally since I almost gave up before the loan rescued me to make my business stand.

New stationery stock for samba cyber cafe
Dear Lenders,
The just completed loans was used to buy new printing papers stock for the samba cyber cafe.
Being the end of the year, businesses and institutions are preparing books, receipt books and invoices for their next financial year and we took advantage of this and did good business.
The printing papers brought an additional profit of KES. 5,000 which was achieved as were able to deliver customers work on time.
The amount has been reinvested in the business to buy more printing papers stock.
The month of October was also a good month for my family. My son graduated from his pre-school and will be joining Primary school next year.
Thank you for your continued support

Laptop computer for work, and a vision check-up
Dear lenders,
There is new change in payment system for Indonesian borrower. as for now, we can only pay the installment with PayPal. I got limitation with my PayPal, so, I need time to fix it first. I'll be back on the track again next week.
Please be patient with Indonesian borrower for awhile again. Rarely people have a credit card here and there are some debit card that able to be linked to PayPal. But little understand how to do it. and PayPal is not popular here.
You can find the information in page Three of this thread here in the forum;

Equipment for poultry farm
Am one grateful Zidisha client ,I want to say Thank you to my Funders and Zidisha at large for this platform. At first it was so difficult to start my business, and I was introduced to Zidisha and am so grateful because I managed to start my business with the fist funding I got which I serviced to the end. My Business started to grow and these brought forth the need of expansion to my cake and bread shop .
Then it so happened that I needed to moved my business and family to a different county, which I did and also opened a shop, a bigger shop which I continued to do the same business under the same name, since I was new in that location my business encountered a storm and it didn’t pick up well .But am so hopeful that with Zidisha i will be able to achieve success.
i delayed in my payment of the loan,something i regret and i will do my best to pay the balance on time.
Thank you Zidisha and my Lenders

Buy new network switch & upgrade data plan for my cybercafe
Hi Lenders, today I managed to upgrade my data to plan as promised earlier in my loan proposal. The service provide had to lay a new cable from my router to the aerial/receiver just to make sure things work as expected. I took a few snaps of the material used and I will post them soon.
You will notice in these photos the old cable, and the new cable that was laid today, we reused the dish/aerial because it was still in good working condition.
I take this chance to thank you all for supporting my dream. May you be blessed abundantly.

Inventory, shelving, transportation & other business expenses
The last 3 loans have had tremendous change in my pife and those around me. The profits i got really helped me in corporate social responsibility. I have helped some widows and orphans.
Currently am supporting 4 girls in high school one is completing this year and the three still continuing .
I am so glad that the profits have enabled me to start a bigger venture that will get me even better profits to enable me support girls who would otherwise not have an opportunity to study.
