About Me

I am a single lady in my 30s with a nine year old son called Keith. He is in standard 3 in a local school where his favourite subject is maths and he likes being the goal keeper in football. I grew up in meru county in Kenya. I am the last born of 8 children. I attended school until standard 8 and then i did a certificate in hair dressing. I love singing. On Sundays i sing in church with the choir and we also practise on Wednesday. i also like watching films.

My Business

For several years after college i worked for other hair dressing businesses until i opened my own business in 2005. At first my business was not successful so I closed it and worked for other people before trying again several times. I opened my current business near where i live in mikunduri at the start of this year. My business has now been successful as this is a busy and growing town and the community is very friendly and embrace visitors. I also sell second hand clothes from my store which has helped the business grow. With the income from the business i am able to support myself and my son and will also be able to repay my loan.

Loan Proposal

i will buy new clothes,hair relaxers,new brow dry,add more things used in beauty.
my desire is to see my business grown until i look for a bigger house and move it where it will be more spacious.
i also wish to have my business grown so that come next year but one will have my son gone to a boarding school.
and finally my dream is to have my own peace of land as i construct my own business premises and a residential home.
i believe with zidisha everything will be possible.

    Dear lender I visited Caroh and I found that she is into a serious financial crisis.she had moved her business to a new premises after the former landlord gave them a notice to move out of his houses since he is reconstracting the houses.
    Where she moved the rent is higher than the previous place and the down payment was to be done four months in advance and a one month lent.
    She promised to pay back her loan once she is settled immediately.
