A loan helped to buy hair extensions and pommades and save up to take care of her child.


Safieta's story

Safieta is the mother of three children, one of whom attends school. She is a retailer of beauty products and has been running a hair salon in one of the capital's suburban neighbourhoods for more than eight years.

She is on her sixth loan cycle with Yikri and she repaid her fourth Kiva loan without difficulty. She is seeking a new loan to buy hair extensions and pommades to meet customer demand during the end-of-year holiday period.

She plans to use the profits to reinvest in her business and save up to take care of her child. She thanks Kiva lenders and encourages them to protect themselves from Covid-19.
