“Loans that change lives.”
My intention for Kiva during 2012 was to only lend money for new loans with the repayments of previous loans. I hoped to be able to fund a new loan every two months for a total of six Kiva loans during the year. I’m very proud to say that this plan was successful. I was also lucky enough to receive two loans for my birthday. In addition, I received a loan via a Kiva promotion. In all, I made 9 new loans this past year.
Here is their repayment progress:
Not sure why the text keeps jumping in front of Claudia’s mouth.
I’d say it’s been another great year for Kiva lending.
For this coming year, I think I’ll stick to my plan of lending with repayment money every two months. It seems to be a good plan. Anyone else have Kiva plans for 2013?
xo, jill
I think it is so supremely cool that you do this. While we were in the Philippines, I encountered several people who took of their dreams with such wistfulness because the amounts they needed were so out of reach for them, but hardly very much for those of us from the Western hemisphere. It really made me think about how I would love to reach out and help good people get a little close to attaining their goals. This really is something I will have to look into when we are done with our trip!
I started with Kiva two years ago and I also give new loans with money from repayments. It’s interesting how most people choose to finance only women
