Fortsatt återutlåning augusti 2018

Det kommer en omgång till med återutlån för augusti, men just nu har stickandet prioriterats. Ibland måste en få tillåta sig att prioritera det roligaste av det meningsfulla före det viktigaste av det meningsfulla.

Fylla lagret efter Urkult

Precis så här många fruktpåsar såldes under Urkultfestivalen så en kan väl säga att lagret är fyllt igen. Men eftersom det övriga lagret är väldigt fullt kommer detta lager att fyllas på tills allt lämpligt garn är slut skulle jag tro. Fruktpåsar är betydligt mindre skrymmande, när de ska förvaras i väntan på att komma ut och möta en publik, än allt annat handarbete. Därför sitter det redan två nya påsar på stickorna.

Återutlåning augusti 2018

Vi väntar på att dollarkursen ska sjunka för att vi ska få ut maximalt av de nya kronorna som ska pytsas in efter Urkultfestivalen men under tiden har det trillat in återbetalningar på Kivakontot. Vi har nu passerat 77 000 utlånade dollar fördelat på bidrag till över 3000 mikrolån. 83 % av lånen har enligt Kivastatistiken gått till jordbrukssektorn.

Augustiutlåningen är inte klar men här är de nya låntagarna så här långt. Det är som vanligt en överrepresentation av jordbrukande kvinnor. Vi önskar dem förstås lycka till!
