How I did it: Went to the website and lent $25 to a woman named Safaa who owns a salon in Lebanon to support her family. One up for women breadwinners! :-) I personally hope that we get more loans related to education and health up soon.

Lessons & tips: I am currently a broke college kid with limited resources, but wanted to make as great of an impact as possible. I plan to create a new $25 loan each month. Since most of the loans I"ve seen have a 12 month repayment period, after a year I should be able to continuously cycle the money I get back into new Kiva loans.
