Project Report | Feb 5, 2021
Not funded yet, but should be soon

By Jill Hinckley | Project Leader

Hi, Barb --

Since you were the only other person besides me who donated to this, this report is going only to the two of us.  I've been amazed and impressed by what a difference food carts can make in the lives of women farmers in India  -- the woman in the picture bought a cart with a microloan, and even with the repayments her net profit is twice what she was previously making.  VOICE Trust (for whom I do volunteer work) has put together a grant that includes purchasing food carts for 30 women.  Even without the grant, we're pretty hopeful of raising the funds to buy at least a few more.  

Tamil Nadu is much further ahead in COVID reduction than we are -- the incidence is so low even masks aren't required anymore!  As we creep towards getting vaccinated (and towards spring), I'm hoping we may actually be able to see you one of these days!

Best,

Jill
