Rita paid the loan by selling milk.
Rita has two children, one son and one daughter who are going to school. They are also drinking milk from their own cow. She used the third loan to start a grocery shop. She has been able to dig a small pond for fish and cultivates different kinds of vegetables for the market. Husband and wife, both of them, are active and earn money. Now Rita is the chair of her CDP group. She is happy with her family.
