About Me

My name is Dokas Baffoe Bonnie. I am a young business lady in the salon business. I completed the University a year ago and decided to enter into salon business.My parents have three children including myself but they had divorce years ago and we the children lives with our mother. My other two siters are about entering into marriage and are also into business. The elder is operating a spot where she sells drinks for folks in town and at the same time she sell food at the same spot. The other sister also buy and sell food stuff like maize, groundnut and shea butter from the northern of Ghana right down to Accra the capital of Ghana.
I decide to go into saloon business because I love fashion and art where I plan to create my own style and I am always planning to do something new into the fashion world.
I love swimming, chess, soccer, and playing tennis. I used to love reading but the saloon work is so tedious I can have time to read nowadays.
The saloon business is now in every corner in our town and for that matter I plan to learn new things to keep ahead of my competitors in order to attract more customers to myself so I plan to travel outside to learn more in future.

    Dear Lenders,

    I had the opportunity to visit Dokas with Volunteer Mentor George Bonsu this past Saturday. Dokas runs a salon next door to her mother’s water sachet business in the central market of Obuasi, a town about an hour away from Kumasi.

    Dokas struggled to pay last year when she and her mother both fell ill. But I am happy to report that they are both better now and Dokas is excited about investing time and money into her business. We rescheduled her loan so that she is back on track. And afterwards, I got a tour of the salon. With her loans, Dokas was able to buy more products and supplies to offer customers – especially quality hair extensions. She also showed me her new hair dryers and a sink that was installed just recently.

    Dokas is thankful for the support she has received from Zidisha lenders and her success is evident – a number of her salon’s neighbors have applied for loans as well since witnessing Dokas’s gains. And she looks forward to being able to continue expanding and sharing her passion with the community of Obuasi. We wish her the best!

    Hello Dokas,

    I just wanted to check in to see how you were doing. I know the initial payment to you was delayed due to technical difficulties with Zidisha. Can you update us on how your salon is going?

    Thank you.
