My name is Veronica Mambwe. I live in Lusaka's Makeni area.

I am married to John, a business analyst with a major industrial company. We have two children.

I am a professional beautician and in 2016 I opened a beauty salon in Makeni area.

At the the time of opening I only had one staff member. Yet, today, my salon has grown and I have a staff of four girls.

At our establishment we professionally carry out hairdressing, makeup and cosmetic treatments.

I also sell clothes and jewelry.

I plan to use the loan to purchase beauty products for my beauty establishment.

My business is to make women look beautiful and I am proud of my work. The ladies look good and I am happy!
