Kiva Entrepreneur Loan Gift

Posted on July 10, 2009 at 9:16 PM

Ahoy,

 

I just made a loan to Nereyda Narvaez Chavarri in Nicaragua using a revolutionary new website called Kiva (www.kiva.org).

  

You can go to Kiva's website and lend to someone across the globe who needs a loan for their business - like raising goats, selling vegetables at market or making bricks. Each loan has a picture of the entrepreneur, a description of their business and how they plan to use the loan so you know exactly how your money is being spent - and you get updates letting you know how the entrepreneur is going.

  

 

The best part is, when the entrepreneur pays back their loan you get your money back - and Kiva's loans are managed by microfinance institutions on the ground who have a lot of experience doing this, so you can trust that your money is being handled responsibly.

 

Again,

  

I just made a loan to an entrepreneur named Nereyda Narvaez Chavarri in Nicaragua. She still needs another $525.00 to complete their loan request of $650.00 (you can loan as little as $25.00!). Help me get this entrepreneur off the ground by clicking on the link below to make a loan to Nereyda Narvaez Chavarri too:

It's finally easy to actually do something about poverty - using Kiva I know exactly who my money is loaned to and what they're using it for. And most of all, I know that I'm helping them build a sustainable business that will provide income to feed, clothe, house and educate their family long after my loan is paid back.

 

Join me in changing the world - one loan at a time.

 

Thanks Yanik for turning me on to such a great program!

Hi Rob,
That's a great concept. I loan money to businesses in Africa through MYC4 (My care for you). It's so great to help people that way!

What a great idea! We're trying to start up a business so we can't do this at the moment but, if all goes well, we certainly will!
