Now they are using their loans to make such diverse items as sweaters, paperweights in the shape of seals, fish and birds, also souvenirs, postcards, little wooden statues of trolls and paintings of the scenery. In addition to giving the women something to do, the activity is an important source of income and helps them and their families cope financially as well as making their lives more enjoyable. What I find especially interesting about the Norwegian experience is that micro-credit was used not in order to alleviate poverty, but rather as a tool for the social integration of people who would otherwise be leaving the Islands.

現在、女性らはローンをくんで、セーター、アザラシや魚や鳥などの形をした文鎮、お土産品、ポストカード、トロールの小さな木工品や風景画など様々なものを作っています。このような活動は、女性にできることを提供するだけではなく、 重要な収入源にもなり、生活をより楽しくすると同時に金銭的に家族が協力しあう手助けにもなります。私がこのノルウェーでの事例が特に興味深いと感じたのは、小額の融資が貧困を軽減するために用いられたのではなく、むしろ島を離れようとしている人々を島に留め、社会的に結束させる道具として用いられたことです。

In other words, credit is not simply an income-generating tool, it is a powerful weapon for social change, a way to give people new meaning in their lives.

言い換えれば、クレジットは単なる収入をうむ道具ではなく、社会変化や人々の生活に新しい意味を与える方法としての力強い武器です。
