W：And the borrowers used the money?
M：To buy tools and materials for producing cloth or food or whatever they can sell to make a little money to feed their families and also start to pay back the loan．
W：And the lenders get their money back?
M：with interest．(Q5)It's been so successful that now micro-credit lending is spreading to other parts ofthe world too．even to North America．That's what my paper will be about．
