About Me

Hello! My names are Fridah Nzisa Lorithae, Nzisa is a name given to me by my grandma which means' worship'. As the first born of five siblings am the first born. We were brought up by a single mother and life wasn't easy and it led to school drop out at the age of seventeen years old. My mother's friend who owned a saloon took me and trained me on hair dressing models and beauty after which i had to work on her salon for one year to pay her back.
At the age of twenty one i got married to a husband from a different tribe from my own tribe. As a hair dresser by profession i started my own salon from a capital i received from my husband which i run partly as i further for my studies.
My husbands county is located at desert part of my country. Life wasn't easy and i thank God for my Husband who took me back to school and started from were i dropped from to a Diploma level.
Right now am looking forward to pursuing for my Degree Course through boosting our small business from the loan am applying for and use the profit from it and be able to further for my education and pay back loan.
My heart's and my dreams are to get enough education ,better job and be able to support my three young children's, my husband's Car washing business and my community at large.
The culture of my husbands family girls get married at tender age by aged men against their will. I would like to support this girls for most of the time they can not embrace the situation and they decides to run away, the most hurting part is that they have no were to run to. I have accommodated some but due to income shortages i can not give them the support i would like to like taking them to a technical schools or training. Am a choir Mistress in the church i fellowship and a praise and worship leader.

My Business

I my self do hair plaiting as well as a director to a car wash business we own. Ladies can not do without doing their hair and beauty . This services are required in and out the seasons. We offer vehicles and motorbike washing services whereby the business is doing well. The profits we get from the two business helps us with our daily needs, educating our three angels and my self, reinvestment in growing the business among other requirements,.

Loan Proposal

Am planning to purchase a new car wash machine to replace the odd one which is wearing out and has recorded some failures. The machine is costing approximately 650 dollars. the purchase of new machine would highly boast my business efficiency and consistence which would lead to increase of client hence profits by almost 30%.

    I would like to reduce my monthly installment repayment to be able to invest back to the business as well. The present amount am paying is too high compared to my business returns and is pressurizing and suffocating my business in terms of returns. Am using almost all my returns to repay back my loan and would like to save and invest back to the business some of the returns. Regards

    Am grateful for the previous loan of Kshs.20,000 i received from lenders through Zidisha. I used the money to purchase hardcore which i used to floor my car wash business grounds. Previously, the swampy grounds used to make my customers complain and i had few of them compared to now, my business is doing well having an increase of customers hence an increase of income at least by 30% of which i used some of the profits to repay back my loan and the remaining for our up keep interms of basic and secondary needs.
