Janeth
received a $488 initial payment.
"I was home with my daughter-in-law when I received a message notification that confirmed the receipt of my first transfer. I was so excited and thankful as well to know that the start of my projects was soon coming to pass. Since I had all the plans in the book, I had not much hurry withdrawing but had to wait to the appropriate date that I had set to start my work."

Rejina
received a $488 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is the purchase of the two heifers that are have given me hope of increased production of milk in the future. Even though the production is low at the moment since I am dependent on only one cow, I am still glad that we are not buying milk as we used to do in the past. This will also give us a chance to sort other household bills using the money income from milk - a project that I had been hoping to capitalize on for a long time."
