How to give a Kiva loan
It made me
warm and fuzzy.
 "Through Yannigan's amazing generosity, I was able to make a loan to a woman in Nicaragua to help with her clothing business."
How I did it: A fellow 43thinger, Yannigan, saw that I had "Make a Kiva Loan" as a goal and gave me a gift certificate as a way to help me meet the goal. Wow! And now it's my turn to pass it on. Thank you, Yannigan!!!
Lessons & tips: Believe in the goodness of humanity. |

It made me
good inside
How I did it: I signed up at www.kiva.org and then went out to do the loan a few days later. The loans get funded really quickly and by the time I had decided who I wanted to help the loan was already funded, LOL! Once my loan gets repaid I think I will forward a gift certificate to someone else so they can give. Read how I did it…

$25.00 - Meas Sophary
16 months ago
Meas Sophary, 28, is the mother of two children and resides with her husband in Phnom Penh. Both have obs to support their family. Meas is employed by a garment factory and her husband, Vong Saran, is a driver in a company. Collectively they earn about $8 each day. Even though they both have a job, they sometimes still face financial crisis. The inflation rate in Cambodia is currently out of control so it’s hard for the low or average income makers to handle their standard of living each day. The prices of goods are extremely expensive, even rice and gasoline.
Some people have to seek another source of income in order to sustain their living. Mrs. Sophary and her husband are trying to seek another source of income by requesting a loan from KIVA to purchase a motor-bike for her husband to operate a motor-taxi when he is available from his work. This will provide their family with an additional source of income. In the future, they plan to set up a coffee shop.
