Shida (not real name) is a deaf young mother of one son. With support from GlobalGiving she was given booster funds of USD 61.1 which she added into her hair dressing business by purchasing some saloon requirements. She now has some customers as well. Currently she is capable of stocking saloon requirements and training community members in hairdressing despite the diffrence in communication. From her hair dressing business she has been able to set up a side business of a fruits grocery to complement on the income from the hair dressing business. She pays school fees and contributes to scholastic materials for her son who is now in Primary one. She joined a saving group where she saves on a weekly basis..
She say she requires more capital to have more hair braids and weaves for her customers and also add make up services.
MPWDA lacks the proper word to express our thank you but we are really deeply thankful.
We believe with more support, Shida can boost her business and we also train and boost other female deaf people to have such a business which they can manage in one place.
We thank you once again.
