About Me

I am the second born in a family of six children,I went to school up to secondary school and I passed through difficult life since my dad was alcoholic and mother was jobless. my siblings and I could spend some days with no food .
After completing secondary education I had no money to go to college ,however I was lucky when an NGO took us for vocational training and I was trained on hairdressing and beauty. After completing the training I took a loan of $300 from my Sacco that I used to start up the business,the business was not easy at the beginning but I struggled and I am determined to succeed
I love nature walk,meeting new people ,socializing and doing community jobs during my free time. Having grown in poverty but now having my own business ,I always guide girls not to give up ,but to work harder in life.

My Business

I a beautician, and I run a salon that provides hair dressing, blow drying, manicure and pedicure services .
The demand for my services are high because my salon is strategically placed and my services are of high quality at affordable prices.
I choose these kind of business because I had training in hair dressing and beauty.
my typical revenues are average #350 per month and my monthly costs are $150 per month.
I spend my profits, on business expasion,paying fees for my young bright brother, and helping my mother.

Loan Proposal

I am very happy to apply for my second loan. I am requesting for a loan to buy solar for my saloon since there is always frequent power breakouts that disrupts my business.The solar is cheaper and efficient and will help me improve my services as well as profits.Thank you
