My names are Bertha Kalima I am a 32 year old single mother of one who is also working on my masters degree via distant learning with the Zambia open University. After I got pregnant a young age, my life changed tremendously as life dawned on me. my father passed away and my mother had no means to support me or my siblings.i started washing people's clothes as a mode of income and later developed an interest of doing people's hair and I've been running that business for 10 years now.i managed to take care of all my siblings including my daughter with my salon business.
My business is a local salon located in the heart of copper belt province Ndola. I make wigs and also braid people's hair
Business can be Soo busy to the point where my customers have to book my services days in advance.i am grateful for my God given talent that it has been able to sustain me for over a decade.
With this loan that I am applying for I am going to buy hair straighteners and blowers for my salon so that when I make my wigs they can look more appealing for my customers
Yes they face risk but in my salon I Also sell some beauty products like foundation and powder so I not only do people's hair but I also sell beauty apparel so I always have business
