My name is Tatu and I live in an area called Bamburi on the outskirts of Mombasa city. I was born not far from Mombasa in a place called Kilifi. My father was polygamous and I was born in large family of 14.
I grew up in rural Kilifi and this defined the person I am today. I received modest education and then moved to the city of Mombasa on becoming an adult. I did a short course on beauty therapy and this is my career to date.
I am married with 2 kids and they are yet to figure out what they want to be when they grow up.
My business entails selling of beauty products as well as making soaps and detergents. I sell lotions, creams and hair products from my store. I also attended a short course in making soap and detergents and I have added this to my beauty business.
I hope the two departments will keep growing and give me the much needed financial freedom.
I will spend this money to buy two plastic chairs to be used by my clients while waiting to be served. This is necessary since my clients get inconvenienced when they lack place to sit while waiting on the queue.
More importantly, this loan will make my entry point into Zidisha program and I hope to benefit with bigger loans in the future.
Thank you.
