Project Updates

Thank you, I have received a loan of 244,737 IDR. I use the funds to buy a veil, and some clothes. The veil and shirt will be resold by mothers who join my reseller. Since I add my type of sales, my turnover is slightly increased. Hopefully for the future my turnover keeps increasing and not just selling clothes and hoods. I am very happy because I can be a little help to increase the income of my resellers. So I do not enjoy the results myself.

Good afternoon Lenders, this is to let you know that I am so much grateful for the loan you gave me previously. It did made a large impact on my business since I purchased an A3 color printer (Epson Stylus PHOTO 1400 - EX-UK)It is mostly used to print Calendars and Posters. I am now earning an extra estimation of up to 300 Kenya Shillings per day on that printer. I am partly saving the cash to cater for my loans and fueling my motorbike.
Right now in Nairobi and most parts of the country (Kenya) is experiencing a lot of rain. I usually wake up very early to take my children to school using a motorbike. but this time round it was impossible. they had to wait, they went to school very late. I know with Zidisha Organization, I will one day buy a vehicle to support my movement whether in rain or sunny.

Hello my lenders thank you for your continuous support please receive my gratitude.
Iam still doing my business and its going very well I cannot complain.
Its such an honor doing business with you.
I promise to adhere with the rules and continue paying my debts as instructed.

All is well, school and business.

Hi lenders
Thank you for the loan you advanced to me. I used the loan to buy photocopy papers which have really helped me meet the customers demand. The profit has grown by 30% from the previous earnings. This has helped me purchase more photocopy papers that will eventually enable my business grow. I will also use the profit after some time to employ an assistant due to increased customers. Thank you

Thanks for your concern.
It is really cold cold and rainy down here, although the only snow we know of in Kenya is that on My Kenya, lol.

It's also a high season of selling jackets, coats, shawls and sweaters as we have to keep warm.
You should purpose to make Kenya your holiday destination..

Hello my esteemed Lenders,
It's my pleasure to express my heartfelt gratitude for your kind gesture to finance my loan. I will utilize the loan for the purpose to which I applied and repay in due course. This loan will go a long to support my Digital Literacy classes in subsidizing the learners payments for the training materials. Some learners are from a very humble background and therefore needs a lot of support to acquire computer skills which are among the basic skills in the 21st Century. Thank you for being part of the great team that supports this vital community empowerment program. It's my humble prayer that even the next time I apply that you kindly be of support.
Kind Regards,
Martin

As I mentioned I also supply sanitary pads, I have a contract to supply but I also sell them, but it happens that there girls who are not able to afford them and maybe they are from a poor background, I usually pick up more to give to them for free. This is because I understand the stigma these young go through and I wish to help with the little way I can. So far I have 6 girls who I give the pads free every month and am also able to talk to them and advise them on situation.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all my lenders who have supported me through funding my loans. I also would like to thank James for his unconditional support. Even though there have been a few challenges I can say my business is growing and my goal to set up a shop is still on. I have recovered from my minor accident and now am back to attend to my business full-time.
Apart from the beauty products I was supplying before I have been able to add more products like sanitary pad, pampers, diaper bags, more soaps. I will include photos of to show you all the products am currently supplying.
thank you so much for your support and may God bless you abundantly.

I purchased a laptop which helps my work in general to be efficient as the laptop had a big storage space and speed than the desk tops . so i added so many customers .

big up zidisha !!!!!

This is the wood which was cut back in December in preparation of cowshed building. It has to be covered because the rains have already started. In fact is planting time and everyone is busy planting.

This is how the cowshed looks at the moment very muddy and not a comfortable place for cows.
