Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can “sponsor a business” and help the world’s working poor make great strides towards economic independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the business you’ve sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back.
Currently loaning funds to the following folks:
Auliliar Gathoni Maina $300 of $300 raised. Auliliar was born 49 years ago, married with six children. Her three children are married and self reliant. The other three are in high school. These children are her major project as she needs atleast USD750 per annum for school fees. Auliliar is an active member of Gituya Kamukia Women Group and she is the chairlady of that group. Auriliar has a very unique business that has constantly enabled her to raise school fees and pay loan. She sells empty gunny bags to the cereal selling people. She wants to increase the stock in preparation for the harvest season a head and her increasing customer demand.3043 Sun, 24 Dec 2006 06:00:16 -0800 kiva
Marta Escalante Tienda de Abarrotes $200 of $200 raised. Ms. Marta is wise and very friendly. She has 8 children who are all economically independent of their parents; Ms. Marta started her business when faced with her husband\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’s illness when she became responsable for her home\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’s expenses. Five years ago she began her business; her children help, but she needs economic support to give the business a boost. Currently Ms. Marta and her husband live off what her small business makes, but they need your support and generosity. She needs a $200.00 USD loan to buy merchandise that will enable her business to have more products in order to meet with her business\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’s high demand. Support Ms. Marta. She thanks you for your kindness and generosity.
