About Me

My names are Catherine Ouma I live in Mombasa South - Likoni, and am currently employed as a receptionist at a Bags manufacturing company in Mombasa Island. I am a single mother of one son who is thirteen yrs old and am struggling to educate and raise him on my own which is quite a challenge! I have been in employment for almost 15yrs and i feel should resign and concentrate on my own salon business which I am sure I will make more money than what I am earning at work! I had about this organisation through my sister Violet who has been taking loans from your organisation. thanks

My Business

I run a beauty & hair salon in the north side of mombasa ( Mtwapa) where I have my little sister running it for me since am always at work except weekends and holidays. The business of late hasn't been doing very well since there is lots of competition and my salon is short of equipements i.e. hair dryer, facial equipments and massage bed since I want to introduce massage in my salon as well! I f I get this loan of Kshs. 20,000.00 it will assist me in purchasing some of these things.

Loan Proposal

Dearest Lenders,
This being my third loan, If granted I will expand my salon to barber shop section.
I want to use the cash to buy new equipments for barber shop i.e. shaving kit and massage kit also some towels.

With this development I will be able to serve more clients both male & female hence
making double profit! I am so happy just thinking what I will be able to achieve with my new project, all this will be possible because of you my Lenders. I cant think of a way to thank you more.

Thanking you for your trust in me.

God bless you.

Regards

CATHERIN
