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

Thanks for your unrelenting support which has enabled me to elevate my business to a very high level. I started my business with no more than a dream and now I can see myself growing very fast because of your support.

This loan is meant to buy two sterilizers which I will be using in doing my work. This is the preferred method of disinfecting my shaving machines. The acquisition of these machines will boost confidence of my clients since some of them are very particular about hygiene.

Thank you so much.
