About Me

I am the third born in our family single mother of one child. I went to shibuye primary school and shibuye secondary school and Ashley college for hair dressing and beauty diploma.
I had a child to take of and did not have start up capital for a business,I worked as saloon assistant for six months and raised $250 that I used to buy basic equipment to start off of my business.
Our culture is diverse and men have to go through a rite of passage which is circumcision so that the community can recognize them as men.
my child wants to be a nurse when she grows up. she loves how nurses dress and that inspires her.I am working hard to ensure she achieve her dreams.
I love swimming,dancing ,singing and making new friends.

My Business

I provide beauty and hair dressing services in my saloon. THe demand for the services is high because of high population of young girls and women in my area.
I choose the business because i loved the industry and it gives me descent living and a reason to smile for I love what I do.
my monthly costs are $200 for water ,rent,and electricity .my monthly revenues are average $400.
I use my profits to pay fees for my child and nephew,and support my parents as well reinvest back in the business.

Loan Proposal

Dear sir /madam
I am glad to say that I am doing very well and my business operation costs drastically dropped courtesy of the solar that I acquired with the first loan, and the efficiency and service quality too have improved due to the original blow drier I acquired with my second loan.
I am now kindly requesting you to help me execute my expansion plan by helping me raise a loan of $700 that I would use to equip my newly opened salon. I would use $400 to buy a bigger solar that would provide energy for running the saloon and would use $200 to buy a blow drier and $100 to clear rent arrears for the new room. I expect the saloon to double my earnings. Thank you very much.

    Hello Penina, can you get in touch with Zidisha to reduce your payments to a more manageable level? That is better than letting yourself get behind with your payments, which can make it harder to get a future loan.
    God bless you,
    Wendy

      Dear Penina,
      yes, please reduce your installments as long as you need and only pay what you can. Even pay nothing for some time and take care for your mom.
      Best regards and good luck, Marcus

    Welcome to solar power, Penina. Australia has 1.4 million homes with rooftop solar power - it's the way to go.
