How to fund a microloan through kiva.org
It made me
really happy!
 "I'm really glad I found out about Kiva."
How I did it: It was easy: I clicked on kiva.com, signed up, looked at the first loan suggested, and agreed to pay the full amount, $450. It was a man who lives in Camaroon who uses his bicycle to run errands for people in nearby towns to support his wife and 5 children. Lessons & tips: It's pretty straight-forward. Resources: Kiva.com.

How I did it: Well, it wasn't exactly me who did it. efbq took care of it today with a donation towards an agricultural co-op in Peru. Felt good to pay it forward just a bit, now that we're just about out of the hole we got into while I was out of work. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Browsed through the listing and funded 4 entrepreneurs who I got a good feeling from.Most of the loans are re-paid so it's nice to think that my $100 can be re-donated to another loan and go on to help more people in the future. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Once I got myself into doing it, it was easy. I had decided to do it today, on Blog Action Day as Kiva is one of the organizations supporting the event. So when October 15th dawned (or actually a bit before that), I registered at Kiva.org, added some funds to my account ($50) via PayPal, and went searching for two loans to support with $25 each.Because I've lived my childhood in Senegal, I looked up two African entrepreneurs: one was an o… Read how I did it…

the reward was we actually got pay back from the venture and we took the money and gave it back so they could put it back into their business. What a great idea this was and I am so glad to have just been a small part of it.

Just donated $100 to 4 different micro-loans. And by donated I mean as soon as it gets paid back I’m loaning it back out to another person and plan on keeping it up as those people need that $100 a lot more than I do.

Rather than build up any cushion, I fell back on it myself. Hopefully the employment situation will resolve itself well, and soon; I’ll be able to explore this further in 2009.

4 more loans

I just went to check on my Kiva account for the first time in a long while and realized that I had a $100 credit from repaid loans! So, I reloaned that money. How easy! Now, I have made a total of 11 loans. I love that I can so easily help more people without having to spend more money. What a great system. Also, I joined the Lending Librarians team.

My loan is partially repaid and I got an update from my “friends” in Cambodia. It will be repaid in full in a short time and I plan to rollover the repayment into another kiva loan. Considering this an ongoing thing, but marking it done to make room on my list.
