My name is Jane Wanja, born in Central region of Kenya. I later went to school in the same area up to secondary school. I later relocated to Mombasa in search of a job. I briefly worked for a fisheries company and later decided to start my own business after attending a short course in hair care.
I am a single mother with two children, a daughter aged 21 years and in college and a son aged 16 who is in secondary school.
I earn my living by running a hair salon that is located in Mombasa town. I am a hard working, resilient, honest and ambitious woman. I survived in the hostile world of business for many years due to the above qualities.
My business deals with hair dressing and related beauty work such as pedicure and manicure.
I also make a sell washing detergents on a small scale to supplement my income.
I make an average net income of about $280 from the business activities. I would like to expand my detergent making department if I get funding.
I normally produce about 20 liters per week of cleaning detergent which is way below the demand of my clients. If I get credit I will be able to buy more raw materials to enable me double the production hence increase my sales and profitability.

One of my driers which I use in the salon needs some minor repair if given the credit, I will be able to fix it which will cost m e about $35.
