Dear Friends, My name is Nicole Gayle and I heard about Kiva a short while ago from a friend and was curious about who they are. My curiosity led me to ask a few questions and to be honest, when I heard the word “loan” I was really skeptical and thought I probably wouldn’t want anything to do with it. ![]() Sincerely,
Nicole Gayle Click on this link to visit the Sikyoomu woman's Group page, check out my picture when you scroll down to see lenders to this group. Awesome!!
You can join the BC team 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. 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!
