University Student Testimonial: Why I Believe in Kettia’s Business
“During our most recent trip to Galette Chambon in May 2016, I had the privilege of working with Kettia. She is a very bright individual with diverse business experience in her background. She cares deeply about her community, and she sees a business opportunity that could be mutually beneficial for her as well as the women of the area. Women have to travel miles to the nearest beauty salon, which is difficult on them physically and financially. With a salon in the area, they can save both time and money in a convenient fashion. If her business is funded, I will be working with her on starting the business, as well as assisting her during operation. I have full confidence that Kettia is more than capable of operating this salon.”
