I live in Berekum in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. I am named Kumi Mary from Berekum Municipality. I have seven siblings and I am the second born of my parents. I had my education at Berekum Demonstration Junior High School at Berekum and further at Dormaa Senior High School . I have my own headdresser shop, also in Berekum Municipality. Reading, cooking and playing ludo are my hobbies.

I opened my own headdresser shop in the year 2012 in Berekum Municipality after pursuing my teacher training college Certificate. My dream was to further my education to the university, but, unfortunately, the amount the university demanded was very huge. So my mother advice me to attach some business so that it can help me generate some money that could assist me to enter into the university, so whiles I am away studying the business can still help generate some money for my studies whiles I listen and the business is really helping me alot.

So I just did what my mum wished me to do, and by the grace of God, I am now in headresser. I have five (5) apprentices who are learning from me what I learnt somewhere in Berekum. Every hairstyle has its price and the lower of the price costs $16 and where my shop is very well known, so it’s patronizing as well. I also sell hairs, including Brazilian hair, Obaasima hair and Super star in my shop.

If the things goes well for me, I will further my education, because education is my perfect dream.

Nowadays, every woman needs their hair to be beautiful, shiny, and bright, so they always buy hair to mix with their natural ones. So that kicked my heart to establish the shop in my own community, because a car fare is not easy at all.

My business is booming as well, so I need to add hairs, a hair dryer, cream, and any other equipment to support my business. Even my shop needs to be renovated, but my amount can’t do all this and support my mother financially. That’s why I am pleading to Zidisha and lenders
