About Me

My name is Rebecca. I am married with two children - a boy and a girl who are now in school. I was born and raised near Nairobi which is the capital city of Kenya. I grew up in a semi-urban set up and I did my school up to secondary school.

I later did a short course in hair care a beauty. I got jobs on short contracts and later with the help of my husband, started a beauty salon. I do hair work and I also sell beauty products such as hair pieces and body lotions.

One of my children would like to be a teacher and the other one a doctor when they grow up. I work very hard to bring their dreams into reality.

My Business

My work entails hair care for women as well as sales of beauty products. I mostly serve the working people such as teachers, office workers who work around my area. I am usually busy over the weekends when most of clients have time for beauty work.

I do make around $150 per month and I use $45 for over heads. I then spend the remaining balance to cater for my family expenses such as food and clothing. I hope to move my business to a bigger place once I get good money.

Loan Proposal

I will spend the entire amount to buy hair pieces at a whole sale price and then retail them. I hope to make a profit of $8 from this venture. This will boost my income and allow my business growth while at the same time allowing me to repay the loan.

I am optimistic that my business will now grow very fast since I now have Zidisha on my side.

    I am struggling with other overheads. I will resume with higher loan installments as soon as the situation improves. Thanks.

    The initial amount was a bit high for my business. I will be comfortable with the above amount.

    Greetings Rebecca, this is James. Does your beauty shop also do nails and footbaths and cut mens hair? If not, think about doing them too, all are money makers. Do you sell mens products? Good luck in your business. Take care and "Keep on keeping on" James

      Dear James, I do nails but I don't cut men's hair but this is in the pipeline.

    I am building my inventory progressively as my credit with Zidisha grows. This is very important since I have always harbored a dream of transforming my business into a big outfit.
