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

Dear lenders,
I must first of all thank you for the previous loans that have enabled me to be who I am today.
My salon is doing well, and am also doing well and about to finish my advanced course in Beauty Therapy.
Basically all this money that am set to fund raise from you will help me to pay for three months rent, do renovations, and add some new products for my new salon that am set to launch in September. Here are the estimates:
Three month Rent...........5000x 3= 15, 000Kes
Renovation and partitioning..........15, 000Kes
Electricity and other electronics......8, 000Kes
Total...................................................................38, 000Kes
Dear Lenders, kindly support me and I wont let you down in my repayments.
