About Me

My names are Catherine Bakari Born brought up in Kenya.Lived almost all my life in Nairobi.Went to school up to secondary Education then college after that worked in different companies later opened my own business oasis dreams beauty parlour and while the i financed my course training with Kenya funguo foundation Kenya where i learned beauty production and business management.Since then have been learning from on line course Like AMI and others
But only recently i decided to expand my business to venture into my own beauty production for my oasis beauty product. I have website and i sell on line so i online almost all the time
I m out going open minded spiritual and curios person and especially on business fields
Have hard my ups and down in business and life and i m the kind that believes in crawling whenever i cant wal,walk when i cant tun but always on move never give up

My Business

Yah i love talking about my business because i love it.It started from scratch i mean no starting capital but client and no equipment but my hands .No beauty product but a bottle of massage oil and my own beauty product for personal use
I started by hiring a small space in a hotel in Miliman then i was an employee of a hotel that was known then as Heron court
The place where i use to hire small space was near by walking distance form my work and home so there was no transport cost.
Started with my friend and slowly client i use to attend to at sauna at my place of work would then come to my hired place for facials treatment steaming was done with bowl of hot water and towel to cover my product were natural like eggs white York as face mask avocado lemon honey mix hair treatment and the shampoo i could afford then form local shop
Within as short period of time i had more than enough client and hire d professionally trained therapy is and beautician barber to join me paid on commission i did home and office boarding school visit for hair cut hair do and manicure pedicure
my i registered my company under oasis dreams beauty parkour and today i have even till number for same business Thanks to God and shall forever be grateful to Safari com for communication and mpesa payment then now till use even on line

Loan Proposal

Happy and grateful to my lenders and Zidisha for making my dream come true.Thank for the past loan has helped me to triple my income now and hope to do even better with the next loan.
is my tradition to save 10% which mean $26USD would go straight to my fixed account before any thing else
100usd would go into buying chemicals for both my liquid soap and bar soap production
100USD will go into packaging material and branding .I do my product designed label and printing personally at home to reduce cost of production.
the remaining around $25USD would go into communication for internet phone and transport
With $10usd i buy bundle for my PC modem which last for whole month and i use to place free classified add on line like in OLX and study beauty production course and business management free form AMI and other free course that helps to increase my knowledge then$5usd for Air time for phone communication with client and balance for transport.I m glad to say that is not only beneficial to m and family ut even neighbors as i give part time jobs and free training but only to those who cant afford my training fee and still deserve the assistance or help
My main challenger is that i have get more order and clients than my production so i must get a machine to manage large quantities good quality and less time for production to suit be able to meet the high demand for more from my client
I love challenges help to grow.
Promise to work smart and ensure to pay back on time always by divine grace
So with all said and done i ones again say thanks a lot to my lenders and Zidisha Shukran ,Shukria Grazie,Merci beaucoup
