I was born in 1977 in Kakamega County and joined primary school at Museno until 1994; thereafter I joined Museno Secondary until 1998. I traveled to Mombasa County in search of job opportunities, where I started working as an unskilled labourer in construction sites. The job was kind of difficult; therefore, I decided to start saving little by little so as to start my own business. I saved about Ksh. 5,000 ($48) and bought a shaving machine, rented a premise, and ventured into the hair cutting business, which has sustained me til now. I have been able to foot my bills and pay school fees for my children, even through numerous challenges, especially when inflation bites.
I offer haircut services to my customers, but due to competition the pricing has to be quite appealing, besides offering services like washing the head with detergent after shaving -- simple things so that customers have a nice experience when they visit my premise. I had grown to like this business ever since I could visit my uncle, who used to own one, and learn a few skills for myself. I usually make a profit of about Ksh. 600 ($6) per day, which increases during weekends and holidays. With Zidisha, I hope to start selling things like school bags, toys, shoes, etc. (which customers usually ask for) to boost my profitability both in high and low seasons, which can cater for things like school fees.
as u can see my wife doing well in her salon thanks to zidisha loan and lenders i therefore would like to improve it by adding a dryer,cosmetics,artificial at a cost of $100 so that to keep at pace coustomer demands and make more profit and add another shaving machine to my barber shop and also school bags and shoes at a cost of $50
