About Me

I was born in the Kiungwani Ukambani area of Makueni County 22 years ago, where I also grew up. I am married with one daughter.

I started my studies for primary school at a local school called Kiungwani Primary School. While in class four at the same school, my father retired at an early age due the retrenchment programme that was being carried out by the government of the day back then. This really brought a lot of miseries, as I had to transfer to another school where I could get low fees. Remember, by then there was nothing like free primary education like now. But I thank God I managed to complete my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education and garnered 263 marks.

I joined a nearby Kiungwani High school where I completed my form four level and attained a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education with a C Plain. Due to lack of money as I mentioned above, I could not manage to go to college but resolved to become an entrepreneur.

My Business

I trained in beauty therapy and therefore started a business that deals with beauty and cosmetics. I do salon work, sell beauty cosmetics, and perform hair dressing in my area of residence. I started this kind of business because my husband promised to help me with some small capital to start with, and hence I developed a passion for it.

I currently get at least 7 customers a day for hairdressing and earn 400 Kes ($4 USD) per client multiplied by seven, which is not bad to save and buy other materials. I also sell cosmetics, which brings in some cash. The total daily earnings from this business is around 7,000 Kes ($71 USD), so it's a worthy business.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders, first of all I am grateful to have joined zidisha through which I hope to get more funding for revamping my business. Let me say that all the money I seek to raise through this platform will enable me add some chemicals for my salon and also add more cosmetics to the shop. I therefore assure you that this money will purely go the business that I have stated here.The chemical will cost me 31dollars, and the rest will add stock to the shop. I hope you will find this business proposal worthy funding. thanks.
