My name is Maria. I’m 26 years old and I live in Dawa, Malawi with my 2 children and my younger sister.

I’m really experienced in hairdressing so I decided to start my own salon. Thanks to my WildHearts micro- loan of £55 I was able to buy the products I needed to stock my business.

Thanks to my micro-loan my life is very different now and I look forward to the future.

My life is very different now and I look forward to the future. I want to employ someone to run my business so that I can attend school to learn English. I’d also like to expand my business and start selling cosmetics as well as another business selling clothes.

I feel more secure now. My dreams for the future are to send my children to school so that they can get good jobs and to build my own house, something that I never thought would be possible before my micro-loan.
