About Me
Hello! My names are Fridah Nzisa Lorithae, Nzisa is a name given to me by my grandma which means' worship'. As the first born of five siblings am the first born. We were brought up by a single mother and life wasn't easy and it led to school drop out at the age of seventeen years old. My mother's friend who owned a saloon took me and trained me on hair dressing models and beauty after which i had to work on her salon for one year to pay her back.
At the age of twenty one i got married to a husband from a different tribe from my own tribe. As a hair dresser by profession i started my own salon from a capital i received from my husband which i run partly as i further for my studies.
My husbands county is located at desert part of my country. Life wasn't easy and i thank God for my Husband who took me back to school and started from were i dropped from to a Diploma level.
Right now am looking forward to pursuing for my Degree Course through boosting our small business from the loan am applying for and use the profit from it and be able to further for my education and pay back loan.
My heart's and my dreams are to get enough education ,better job and be able to support my three young children's, my husband's Car washing business and my community at large.
The culture of my husbands family girls get married at tender age by aged men against their will. I would like to support this girls for most of the time they can not embrace the situation and they decides to run away, the most hurting part is that they have no were to run to. I have accommodated some but due to income shortages i can not give them the support i would like to like taking them to a technical schools or training. Am a choir Mistress in the church i fellowship and a praise and worship leader.

Loan Proposal
I would like to purchase Car Wash accessories costing 100 dollars to boost the business through introduction of better working tools like car perfume, employees better working attires and shoes among others. This will draw customers attention and satisfaction hence more income realization which i will save and use some of the savings to pay back the loan and study.
