Offer a Microloan to someone on the Kiva site

But not finished.
Two new loans, to women from Peru – a young one, an elderly one. Best of luck to them and their families.
(I’m quite ashamed it took me so long to make loan n°2 and 3.)

The first KIVA loan I offered has been repaid in full. I was a little disappointed that there was only little information on what the entrepreneur had achieved with the loans… but okay. It didn’t go directly to her but went via a field partner, who wrote the little blurb et cetera, so maybe that’s why. Time to find someone new to invest in!

After reading about KIVA in a women’s mag some weeks ago, I’ve now offered my first loan, to a woman my age from Peru, whose blurb I found very engaging. Among other things, she sells books – now that fits. :-) I have no qualms about KIVA, thanks to good reports in the press and here on 43things. So I’m excited to see how this entrepreneur’s mini-business is going to develop!
