Janeth
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"My goal for the next four months is to buy a dairy cow using the money I will get from table banking. This cow will be an investment since I will be able to sell it in future to pay school fees for my child in secondary school. I will also have enough milk for my family and will sell the surplus to cater for other basic needs. I am also planning to plant beans in the next four months. This is because beans can be harvested within a short period of time and I will sell it to pay school fees for my daughter."
