About Me
I am Patrick. I am a barber and I do my work in the coastal city of Mombasa. I am married and my wife works in a local hotel.
I was born in a place called Kirinyaga on the slopes of mount Kenya. This a place with a great agriculture potential and naturally my parents are farmers. I spent my early years helping them with field work such as weeding and harvesting of crops.
I went to primary and secondary school and then relocated to Mombasa where I learned how to shave different styles. I was able to open my own business and I am glad I have kept the business going for the last 5 years.
My Business
I charge a fee for shaving my clients. The charges range from USD 1 for children to USD3 for male adults and USD 4 for female adults. I am able to attend between 8 - 10 clients per day and this gives me an average income of about USD 25 per day.
I use this income to pay rent and other business expenses. I use the balance to support my family and when I do send some money to my parents when the business is booming.
I hope to buy better equipment in future to increase my efficiency and that is why I have joined Zidisha for credit.
Loan Proposal
I am currently occupying a small space where I do my barber work. This has proved inadequate over time due to rapid growth that I have experienced of late (thanks to your credit).
If I get funded, I will use the money to move to a more spacious room which is just next to my current one. I will pay USD 250 for lease and then use the balance to paint and do minor repairs to the new place.
Thank you.
