About Me

I am Patrick. I am a barber and I do my work in the coastal city of Mombasa. I am married and my wife works in a local hotel.

I was born in a place called Kirinyaga on the slopes of mount Kenya. This a place with a great agriculture potential and naturally my parents are farmers. I spent my early years helping them with field work such as weeding and harvesting of crops.


I went to primary and secondary school and then relocated to Mombasa where I learned how to shave different styles. I was able to open my own business and I am glad I have kept the business going for the last 5 years.

My Business

I charge a fee for shaving my clients. The charges range from USD 1 for children to USD3 for male adults and USD 4 for female adults. I am able to attend between 8 - 10 clients per day and this gives me an average income of about USD 25 per day.

I use this income to pay rent and other business expenses. I use the balance to support my family and when I do send some money to my parents when the business is booming.

I hope to buy better equipment in future to increase my efficiency and that is why I have joined Zidisha for credit.

Loan Proposal

I used the previous loan to buy a shaving machine. I now need an extra barber chair to be used by the extra worker that I hire when the business peaks. This will me around USD 80 and this money and a bit of my savings will enable me acquire it.

It is a much needed item since it will make it possible to serve more people at the same time.

Thank you Zidisha and lenders for your valuable support.
