Project Updates

Taking good care of my local dairy cattles, i like doing this everyday.

I bought a wheel chair, shaving machines, a mirror, razors, combs,,sterilizer and many more. it has really helped me to expand the business and also cater for m y family. my earnings have increased to 75% but hope to increase with time. I have been able to cater for the needy in the area where I work. my children have been enrolled in the best school and they are given proper education. we organize football games for the youth and they play with pleasure and commitment.

Gradually my dream of be coming big time cassava farmer is in progress. Thanks to Zidisha lenders. So of my harvest yields.

Dear lenders, from my experience with zidisha, I have really benefited with your funds, I have used it to pay school fees, buy school uniforms for the two orphans children I adopted, I have never met in my life a kind and trust people like you lenders who just offers his/her funds to support people that you just knew them through the zidisha organization, you're really doing a great job, now because we are just borrowers and we have nothing to grant you with, we just pray our Almighty God to grant you more blessings to live long, good times.

I took this photo while grazing my cows and in one of my farms. If given the funding, I will buy more local dairy cows.

I thank Zidisha fraternity and my lenders for giving me a reason to smile, life has been so hard from the time my father passed on in 2006, after completing my secondary education in the year 2010 with a urge fee balance things were so tough, at this point my focus was now to make ends meet come rain come sunshine, I moved away from our home to a place where I could see my dreams come true, it was hard to adopt to the new environment as I was just fresh from high school, in this new environment, i noticed that school going children completely lacked a place where they could shop school I teams, I decided to set up a small bookshop though what I had in my pocket was only 40 us dollars which I had been saving and that was just only enough to pay a rent of one month, despite the fact that I lacked a starting capital I did not give up and therefore I had just to pay for the shop as I new I had to secure that shop first because of its location, because of many challenges I ended up being exploited by the women around so as to be able to get something to pay the rent, at one point i started eve selling mandazi and teaching a near by kindergarten, I continued to fight with life hard enough and remained focused. Luckily enough through hard work and commitment in my business by the year 2013 May i was able to raise something to clear my school fees to pick my certificates there immediately i applied for a chance from Kenyatta University to pursue Bachelor of Arts, through bursaries i have managed to complete my training and because of high population and lack of Jobs i decided to go back to my business as i believe this is where lies. To my lenders, I did I know that through your continued support I have a bright future.

Thanks to Zidisha team for making my dreams come true. I plan of offering a. Purse at the university but had no money. The loan giving to me help me buy more electrical gadgets into my shop . The ceiling fans, rice cookers and cables were bought on time. These helped me raised enough money to pay for my university admission. The most interesting thing about Zidisha that I like most is the ability for you to adjust the payment to meet your strength. I was able to lay my fees and reduce the payment amount to the extend that my schooling and shops all goes on effectively. Thanks to Zidisha once again .

Hello my lenders,
I take this chance again to appreciate the help you have given me through the loans you have given me and it has boosted me financially.
The last loan assisted me to purchase a Epson printer which is economical in terms of expenses and same time efficient. My business now was boosted by 200 dollars every month thus my total profit now ranges between 400-600 dollars .
The profits i use to pay my daughter school fees, pay education expenses, food and clothing to the orphans i support, I use the profit to pay for my family food, house rent , utilities, and other daily family expenses. Part of the profit I give back to the business by purchasing stock and other daily business expenses.
Since January its has not rained and water, vegetables have been rare and expensive to get but since the start of this week , it has been raining and now we have water and soon people will grow vegetable and will be readily available in the coming month. Its is a planting season and I am even planning to plant maize next month. I am trying to safe money also to purchase fertilizer and seeds .
Thanks again for your help.
Regards.

thank you lenders for the support you are giving me. my hotel is running smoothly and my profit has increased by 18%. thanks a lot

Zidisha is really helping me, my business, my family. My effort goes smoothly thanks to zidisha. Liquid loan funds from zidisha I use most to increase the capital of cooking materials, and partly in use to buy equipment and supplies of my place of business. The effect is, the food menu on sale increases, so I can get more customers. If the customer increases, auto turnover increases. So the profit earned can be returned to the zidisha, give it to the parents, and increase the main capital of my business. Thank you for the great trust of investors and zidisha who have given me a loan and trust.

Zidisha benar benar membantu saya,usaha saya, keluarga saya.
Usaha saya berjalan lancara berkat zidisha.
Dana pinjaman yang cair dari zidisha sebagian saya gunakan untuk menambah modal bahan masakan,dan sebagian lagi di gunakan untuk membeli peralatan dan perlengkapan tempat usaha saya.
Efeknya adalah, menu makanan yang di jual bertambah,sehingga saya dapat mendapatkan pelanggan lebih banyak lagi.
Jika pelanggan bertambah,otomatis omset meningkat.sehingga untung yang diperoleh dapat saya kembalikan ke zidisha, berikan ke orang tua,dan menambah modal utama usaha saya.
Terima kasih sebesar besarnya atas kepercayaan investor dan zidisha yang telah memberikan pinjaman dan kepercayaan kepada saya.
