Let’s help the Duodu family! The Duodu family has borrowed $100 from the village loan fund. They must pay the money back in 5 months. The family already weaves their own cloth and they sell it in the market. However, they can make more money if they take their cloth and turn it into shirts, skirts and shawls and sell those in the market. The family uses the $100 to buy a second-hand sewing machine.
