About Me
My name is Susan Kaloina. I was born around the Mount Kenya region of Kenya in a family of seven. My parents were and still are peasant farmers where they do subsistence farming. I was brought up in a rural area with a lot of hardship where my family struggled to get even to get basic necessities. I endured deprived upbringing and navigated safely into adulthood.
I went to school up to secondary school and later relocated to Mombasa city to live with my cousin. This is where my life changed drastically as I became accustomed to urban life. I enjoyed ‘luxuries’ such as electricity, hot showers, bus rides, etc. for the first time.
My kind cousin enrolled me in a beauty course, where I was taught beauty aspects and public relations. I worked as an intern for one year and later, with the help of my cousin, I opened a beauty salon where I do all kinds of beauty services.
My Business
My business is called Babyface Salon. As the name suggests, I turn people’s faces into baby-like smooth faces. I normally specialize with ladies and young girls. Through the years, I have created a valuable cluster of clients and they are my main source of clients. Their referrals are also very crucial in my work.
In a busy month, I make about $250, which I plough back to the business and use some for my upkeep and to support my siblings back at home. I am hoping to open a beauty school in the near future if I get the reliable credit. I am hoping that, with partners like Zidisha, I will be able to realize this dream very soon.
Loan Proposal
I was involved in a road accident 7 years ago where by back got injured. I was given basic treatment but I still experience nagging back pains every now and then. The purpose of this loan is to enable me have a proper treatment and hopefully fix this problem once and for all.
Given that my work involves long hours of standing, this conditions has limited my ability to word effectively and I cannot work for long hours. Thus fixing this problem will be very beneficial to me.
The whole operation will cost about USD 1000 and I will top up the difference from friends and well wishers.
Thank you for your kind support.
