Thank you very much Margaret and Mary your contribution has really gave me hope now am just crossing my fingers that more lenders will turn up in good time God bless.

I have just finished paying back my loan. Thank you all my lenders for your great support. I am looking forward to more of your support in my next loan application. God bless you all.

My loan has successfully be funded. This will be used to buy the pillows, pillow cases, blankets and the bed spreads. These items will furnish my shop and will the business go on very well. I most grateful for funding this loan. Thank you very much.

Hello my esteemed lender, am so pleased to inform you on my progress following a loan you gave me that I have just completed paying back.
I managed to buy a canon lens x2 for my camera from OLX Kenya, which has really helped me in commercial photo shooting, alongside video shooting that I was previously doing and therefore I have really expanded my scope against the competitive edge and consequently I have been able to raise more funds. I can estimate that this enhanced the quality of my photo shooting and I have managed to increase my profit by averagely 10%. This may also explain the reason for my early payment of the loan.
I have been able to continuously pay for my younger brother's school fee and I have consequently began a saving towards my school. Having equally shot charity photos for churches around my neighbourhood, I have been receiving their support in terms of job opportunities.
Thanks to both my lenders and my neighbours who have ensured I do not miss any both video and photo shooting opportunities. I have attached here the camera lens bought and a photo of me shot by the same camera.
Kind regards

I bought 10 iron sheets costing 50 dollars, wood costing 30 dollars, nails, and padlocks and feeding trays costing 20 dollars. Chicken feeds costing 50 dollars. Paid veterinary services for vaccination 50 dollars. For the banana project paid for irrigation water 60 dollars, labour 20 dollars ,bought horse pipe to use for distribution water into the farm 20 dollars.
In my poultry business profits have rose from 20 dollars to 25 dollars a week. For bananas after maturity period where they start to produce, profits are expected to be more than 200 dollars. I have used increased profit to support my family, cater for my living expenses, paid primary school fees for my nephew and repaid my zidisha loan.

From my last loan for my kente weaving business I bought the yarns, wove it ,sold and made a profit of $10 going into my business as I have employed a person with it together with what I already have for another kente cloth. By so doing my profile margin will increase to save more for my university education if possible next year as I have set my target towards that time

Having secure Zidisha loan for two times as a student, I was able to pay my hostel fees without much hustling, buy study materials and also able to attend one Training in Telecommunication Training in broadband evolution and transformation. As a telecommunication engineering student, broadband evolution and transformation is very dear to me and by the assistance from Zidisha, I was able to attend this course and it has broaden my knowledge and understand in what Mobile broadband is.
After the training program, I now understand that broadband is associated with wireless internet access, delivered through mobile phone towers to computers, mobile phones and other digital devices. It is estimated that, every decade (i.e. 10 years), a new mobile technology becomes available. Not only does this go hand in hand with new infrastructure, but it also encompasses the nature of service, compatibility, peak data rates, new frequency bands, etc. Each transition is referred to as a generation.

Use for mobilemoney. It is very nucrative in my locality which i can make 50% interest within a month

Dear Winfred,

Because it’s your first loan you will have to pay a one time membership fee. This is deducted from your current loan. More info about this can be found on the Borrowers FAQ (www.zidisha.org/faq#borrowe...)

You can find an overview with the calculations on your “your credit limit” page. (www.zidisha.org/current-credit). Before taking out a large loan, you must first build creditworthiness by repaying small test loans over a period of time.

If you accept this loan then you should go to your dashboard and confirm acceptance by following the instructions on your dashboard (www.zidisha.org/borrower/da...)

If you don’t accept this loan then please wait 3 days and it will expire automatically.

If you already accepted the loan and this was a mistake then please cancel the loan by following the instructions on your dashboard (www.zidisha.org/borrower/da...) .

Ps. This is a place to communicate with lenders. If you need help from Zidisha staff about your account then you should always create a support ticket using the help menu (www.zidisha.org/borrower/help).

Kind regards,
Joost
Team Zidisha
