How to fund micro loans through kiva.org by lock_stock

"It feels great helping someone on the other side of the world to break out of the poverty cycle by providing micro-finance."

How I did it:

  • Visited kiva.org
  • Created and edited a profile
  • Created and edited a Lending Team (this is optional)
  • Deposited US$100 via paypal
  • Looked through the many people who are asking for a micro-finance loan.
  • Lent $25 to Sylvia, a corn farmer in the Philippines, for insecticides, seeds, and fertilizers.
  • Lent $25 to Yon Von, a pig farmer in Cambodia, for a motorbike to save on taxi costs.
  • Lent $25 to Mercedes of Peru, to purchase cookies and soft drinks to on-sell for a living.
  • Lent $25 towards COTOCA Group, mad up of 12 locals in various trades in a village in in Bolivia.

Lessons & tips: Read the information on the kiva.org website to see how it works.

Kiva do gift certificates! 8 months ago

I was looking for a unique present for my mum for Mothers Day, and came across Kiva’s gift Certificates. I have put $50 towards this, and i hope my mum enjoys watching it make a difference!

I plan on doing more Kiva loans in the future, so i won’t mark this goal off as DONE just yet.

If you havent already had a look, check out Kiva.org ;)
