M. Jayalakshmi was a goat farmer who got her training in creating banana value added products. With that, she launched her business and now earns over Rs. 1000 more per month. I asked her about her future plans and she said that she wants to add windows and a staircase to her house. She also plans to buy new clothes for Deepavali this November.
She told me that she is happy with her work, and feels proud that she owns a business in the community. Her main priority at the moment, however, is to repay the loan that she has received.
