hello,
am Millicent Onyango, am 30 years old a single mother of a beautiful girl. growing up my childhood wasn't perfect, i and my siblings faced challenges due to lack of sufficient funds. my parents were farmers and thats what we depended on to see us through our daily lives. after i completed primary school i joined high school during my third year in high school i made a wrong choice and what i thought to be love changed my life for good. i got pregnant and the person responsible denied responsibility, when my parents found out they disowned me. this was the most difficult time in my life i was forced to drop out of school since i wasn't able to pay school fees and above all with the condition i was in i wouldn't be allowed at school, all i would do is look for manual jobs to do at least to get something to eat and at least a shelter. a friend of mine help me find a job as a housemaid in Nairobi, i moved there and started working, when i was almost putting to bed y employer wanted nothing to do with me, lucky enough i had saved some money and it helped me start a small business. i started hawking products like face cream hair products, face towels... through my hard work i managed to train myself as a hair dresser, in 2014 i started a small saloon where i also sell some of the beauty products.
my daughter is now 13 and shes in high school form 1, my goal is to give her the best and help her achieve her goals
my business is to do with hair, i run a saloon where i offer services like manicure, pedicure, hairdo, facials and nail art. i also sell hair products in the saloon, i started my business in 2014, it has not been perfect because like any other business i have had challenges and i still have ore i would like to achieve and expand my business. its my sincere hope that this platform will help me grow and improve my business as well.
Hi dear lenders am applying for a loan of 30 dollars to help me buy an instant water heater for my saloon. my current heater is not working this has resulted for me using other means to heat water which is a bit time consuming. having a good instant water heater will help me serve my customers on time. i hope you will fund my loan to help me get the heater.
