I am a 32 year old loving wife and mother of 3 children and also the only child of my parents. Living and having a salon business in Ongata Rongai town, Olerai area.
I was born in Mombasa and raised in Nairobi County where i started developing entrepreneurial skills at an early age. During my childhood and teens i used to assist my parents and aunt in running cloth and grocery shop respectively. The up bringing helped me to develop social and business skills that has seen me succeed today in my salon business.
My educational background is in Information technology. Where i got a certificate at IAT (institute of Advanced Technology - Nairobi)
In an environment of limited employment opportunities after college I felt a need to start up a business in order to earn a living to supplement my husbands income.
I started my salon business in 2010 which has transformed from being a supplementary source of income to the main source of Income for my Family. I started with a few items but has since grown to where it is today. However the growth has been limited due to lack of sources of credit to help me in acquiring the much needed items like dryers, blow dryers and hair products and suppliers that are key in taking care of an increased client base.
My dream is to have a big business facility that will offer hair dressing and beauty training as well as taking care of individual clients needs with Ongata Rongai town and extend to the Capital City - Nairobi and key selected County depending on clients needs.
If given the loan I Will be able to buy a dryer which costs 140dollars, this will enable me to work efficiently for my clients because the equepment will be always there ready at there service. This will double my income since we are now approaching the peak season where every woman needs to look beautiful thanks to zidisha I know with zidisha, its going to change my life and the life of my entier family I will appreciate thanks to zidisha team.
