Study dream come true

Hi my lenders and friends. This is the current state of my businesses. This is a high level summary. I sold my cow at $240 & bought a small one at $70. However the owner requested I still keep it for him. Part of my profit from this sale was used to finish my small two houses. I know live here and no more renting houses at my rural area! Thanks to Zidisha for buying me this land. Part of the other interest I bought construction materials for building chicken house. I will quote this in Kes faster. 4 iron sheets at Kes 2,400, 38ft wood 1*6 at Kes 2,000, chicken wiremesh a roll at Kes 1800, Wire mesh at Kes 500, handsaw at Kes 350, Nails Kes 200, hasp at Kes 100. I did all the labour in two days despite of the hot sun. I added forest wood since soft wood bought could not complete the chicken house. The house is really beautiful. I have around 10 big chicken and some other small. Earlier my chicken were being eaten by wild animals from the earlier house. I intend to zero graze now. This is also to prevent farm produce damage by the chicks. My peanut business is also doing well actually for the last two days I have been able to make a daily profit of Kes 2000. I do this on part time basis hence the income is not stable but I can make a profit of Kes 10,000 if I am free for five days in a month.My water pumping solar system had broken down due to prolonged rainy season but am in a process of receiving a new one.

Forage harvester for cheaper farm feed production costs

Lenders,

Thanks again for the continued financial support. The year has been very challenging following a prolonged dry season last year and early in the year. Feeds for out cows have poses a challenge as we didn't meet our projected fodder output from the farms.

We are however out of the woods now and the cows health has improved. Our cows have starting to produce more and cycle well. The forage machine is now in my possession and it will make fodder harvest very efficient by next season.
Thank you.

Extending my brick structure to accomodate more bricks

In every business venture, there comes struggles and extreme challenges. My first project (brick making)was a big disappointment and i lost the entire loan i had invested. I didn't change the project, instead i noted down all the inconsistencies that occurred leading me to plunge into losses. I struggled through repaying this loan via side hustles. This almost demotivated me. My status was always late repayment(this was bad).Well, i repaid the entire loan and i never thought my lenders will give me a second chance. Funny enough, i applied for another loan and i was funded with the rating of 33%. I learnt that our lenders at Zidisha are human and they understand the different challenges a business can bring about. They gave me a loan and that was the break through.Since then, i have had a smooth running with my business taking the best track ever. What i can advice my fellow borrowers is to believe in the process and trust the system for effective outcome. Being genuine is also another factor that make the lenders willing to give you a second chance. Finally, i have trusted the Zidisha system and will always be ready to refer anybody to borrow

My profit will increase by ksh 1485 per week.
I will be posting updates on how I am progressing in my business.
Best regards,
Denis
