Okay, how does one make a zipper by hand? Doesn't it take a fancy machine?

There are *two* zipper-makers looking for loans now!

I also thought this would involve machinery... ??

Maybe "zipper" means something else in Pakistan?

They look like zippers!

I still think the most fascinating occupation was the woman in Africa, several months ago, who makes string!

they are zippers, zoom in, the pile of white things are the pull tab and sliders already assembled.



edit:  I'll add - more loans where I would like to see how the whole transaction went down - re: mfi and clients.

They must mean she "assembles" zippers to sell to clothing manufacturers.

Putting the teeth into the cloth, and the slider on? I don't think that can be done by hand.

Well, I lent her money, so later on I'll ask about it in a comment.
