Livingstone
received a $4 initial payment.
"My new goal to join a table banking group in my village. We will be saving our transfers together as a way of pooling funds. I have mobilized 10 people in our neighborhood, each of us will be contributing KES 1000 per month. We will then have a kitty from which a member will get a loan when they need to, so as to invest in an income generating venture. I personally plan to buy livestock for dairy purposes through my membership in the group."
