About Me

I was born in the Kiungwani Ukambani area of Makueni County 22 years ago, where I also grew up. I am married with one daughter.

I started my studies for primary school at a local school called Kiungwani Primary School. While in class four at the same school, my father retired at an early age due the retrenchment programme that was being carried out by the government of the day back then. This really brought a lot of miseries, as I had to transfer to another school where I could get low fees. Remember, by then there was nothing like free primary education like now. But I thank God I managed to complete my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education and garnered 263 marks.

I joined a nearby Kiungwani High school where I completed my form four level and attained a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education with a C Plain. Due to lack of money as I mentioned above, I could not manage to go to college but resolved to become an entrepreneur.

My Business

I trained in beauty therapy and therefore started a business that deals with beauty and cosmetics. I do salon work, sell beauty cosmetics, and perform hair dressing in my area of residence. I started this kind of business because my husband promised to help me with some small capital to start with, and hence I developed a passion for it.

I currently get at least 7 customers a day for hairdressing and earn 400 Kes ($4 USD) per client multiplied by seven, which is not bad to save and buy other materials. I also sell cosmetics, which brings in some cash. The total daily earnings from this business is around 7,000 Kes ($71 USD), so it's a worthy business.

Loan Proposal

I know what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur. even successful entrepreneurs did not just wake up and became rich at once, at least they worked hard towards achieving it, That is exactly my target.
Am here again for my second loan,after successfully using the first one, I believe you will find time to fund me again so that I further restock my premise. This time round, I want to buy one washing machine and a blow drier. and the remaining I also want to add a Barber within my premise. This has been triggered by high demand of young people who come to shave their hair and others accompanying their peer who always find no Berber in my premise. I will employ one person to help me in Barber section. Kindly purpose your time to go through my proposal and fund me. I promise good results
Breakdown:
Blowdry..............1 @ 5000
Washing Machine............1@ 7000
Shaving Machine...............2@7000
Total.................................................19000Kes
Loan to be raised.......................17800Kes.
Deficit.................................................Apprx 2000Kesh

The remaining money, I will get it from my previous savings from my business. I will really appreciate if you Fund my proposal.Kind regards,
