Thanks a lot for all the support I have been receiving. As at the picture attached you can see computer-desktop. It is my great achievement to have it in my business and it has helped me much. I achieved the desktop through the loans I receive.
I also continue with growing chia plants for seeds. At present am harvesting.

Thanks.
Philip
I really appreciate that the lenders have supported me financially to be able to start my business and continue with my education at the same time. Thank you all and be blessed.
I did purchase of cereal.
The purchase has increased my profit margin with about 2-3% though the business isreturns were low compared to previous purchase.
Regardless of low earnings my parents had during my secondary School education , I made sure that I completed my form four and did my KCSE and attained the certificate. I worked hard to assist my parents and motivated them to persistently to educate me on. This however has been a challenge for me but I can complain cause this has made come this far. I have not visited any holiday site in t
My neighborhood of recent. I wish to thank my lenders for being my business financial solution from time to time.
Slaughtering of an animal for the Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice) is something that is incumbent on all Muslims, male and female, if they have above a certain amount of savings. If a person has savings above the set level, they buy a sheep or a cow and sacrifice it. The spiritual sacrifice is made to God, but the actual physical meat is used for more prosaic purposes. It is divided into three portions; what will be cooked at home, what will be offered to close relatives and friends, and finally that which is donated to those who cannot afford to slaughter a sheep or cow (or camel).
It is possible to hear other people describing this holiday described as barbaric or cruel. The purchasing of an animal, the cutting of its throat and the butchering of the meat is at times depicted as something that the modern person should not be doing.
Eid al-Adha at its most fundamental level is a reminder to us of where the meat we eat and enjoy every day comes from. The purchasing and handling of the animal, the slaughtering, whether carried out by the individual themselves, or by a butcher, the chopping up of the
meat and the portioning it out, is all a reminder of where the food we eat comes from.
Why is it celebrated?
In a dream, God ordered Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his most beloved – his only son, Ismail. Prophet Ibrahim told his son about the dream, to which Ismail agreed to be used as a sacrifice. The Prophet and his wife traveled to Mecca, where they planned to perform the deed. As Prophet Ibrahim prepared to kill his child, God replaced his son with a ram. God’s command was a test to see if the Prophet would follow his command. Prophet Ibrahim passed the test. Centuries later, Muslims have carried the tradition of sacrificing animals in the name of God.
I take this opportunity to appreciate my lenders and Zidisha for the big support they have given me . As an Orphan life has not been easy for me. Courtesy of you i can have food on the table, pay utilities and sustain myself. I had issues paying my loan previous because my business went down and made a little profit to repay and sustain myself. I am sorry for that Lenders and zidisha too. But now i have set myself and my business is well now and same time i have increased my services now. I will love your support in making my dreams true. Thank you Zidisha.
This loan has really helped me in increasing my pastries and my profit also increase and I used some of the profit cater for myself. I Thanks all my lenders, God bless them all, Amen.

This printer will increase my earnings to Between $30 to $40 per day. With such amount, my 2 daughters will be stable in school, I will be able to pay my employees and all my bills, and even save so that I can buy another digital printer and a lab quality photo printer. Thank you so much and my God bless you.
After I received the loan from zidisha, I bought the type of hair that I sell to my customers in a large quantity.
Because I made a large purchase with the money I have been able to increase my profit.

Again because of this increase I am able to send my sibling to a good school.
People living in my neighbourhood are looking more attractive because of how I dress their hair.

With the bulbs it helps the community and myself with vision in the night and unfavorable weather.
With $10.45 I'll be able to purchase at least 10 with a profit margin of 10-15% surely it increases my capital with a margin of at least 10%•
The increase have been used to reinvest so the output of the loan is increasing my inventory.

My shop provides staple food and snacks, because the staple food is certainly needed by the community every day, the benefits I get are used for daily living needs. The loan funds I got to add to my merchandise so that my business was more developed.
Warung saya menyediakan makanan pokok dan makanan ringan, karena makanan pokok tentu dibutuhkan masyarakat setiap hari, keuntungan yang saya dapatkan digunakan untuk keperluan hidup sehari hari. Dana pinjaman yang saya dapatkan untuk menambah barang dagangan saya supaya usaha saya lebih berkembang.
Hello zidisha lenders,the vest have became a fashion due to climate change and it as been cold weather throughout the day. With my previous loan i bought more vests as required by customer of which i was buying at KES.75.00 and sell at KES. 120.00. The difference is great. The school opens next month the demand of vests for mostly boys is great!!!!!!The price of petrol mostly increase used in our country is hiked and therefore life is becoming expensive. The answer is business.

Still promising that I will be faithful in my all my repayment, so help me God.
Dear lenders my loan was a success because of you ,Zidisha is one of best lending institutions in the world, if Zidisha can reach out to all nations of the world poverty would be eradicated because most people would engage themselves in entrepreneurship and help their families the way i do.May God almighty bless Zidisha and its staff for this wonderful work they are doing to liberate us.
I have successfully made another repayment today August 15, 2018. Let me use this opportunity to say thank you to my lenders. Your continuous commitment to this project is second to none.

Loan to pay my rent (for two years)
I have successfully made another repayment today August 17, 2018. I want to extend my most heartfelt appreciation to every lender especially to those who funded my loans since I joined Zidisha. It took the contribution of each of you on this team to create the tremendously successful Zidisha project all this while. I made great strides in the past semester on my semester projects and look forward for the upcoming semester. This wouldn't have been possible without your support. I am proud of each and every one of you and to be part of Zidisha community. I hope that the direction Zidisha vision has taken, will remain for the next generation as well. Once again, thank you to Director Julia and entire Zidisha Team, lenders and volunteers. God richly bless all of you.

I am in constant touch with my mentees advising them on how to take advantage of the numerous opportunities offered to them by zidisha to sustain and explain their businesses.
They are doing well with their repayments.
I am proud of my mentees.
I also thank zidisha for making me a mentor.
I will use the little experience I have acquired since joining zidisha to help grow the community in order to raise more entrepreneurs with expanded businesses in every community across the globe to reduce the ever increasing cancer of unemployment in every hamlet, village, developing as well as developed countries across the whole wide world.

Hello zidisha lenders,the vest have became a fashion due to climate change and it as been cold weather throughout the day. With my previous loan i bought more vests as required by customer of which i was buying at KES.75.00 and sell at KES. 120.00. The difference is great. The school opens next month the demand of vests for mostly boys is great!!!!!!The price of petrol mostly increase used in our country is hiked and therefore life is becoming expensive. The answer is business.
