Kiva Update

Kiva - loans that change lives
As I blogged about in a previous post, over the winter I donated money through Kiva to women starting or expanding businesses in developing countries. It was my little way of feeling as if I was making a difference to not only the entrepreneur, but her to family and in some cases the entire community. I loaned four women a total of $150 and I'm happy to report one of the women, Lidys Fajardo, has repaid her loan in full ahead of schedule. I took the $50 she repaid me and have since donated $25 each to two more women to help their businesses. I have added a Lenk's Link with my lender page so anyone who wants to can follow the progress of any or all of these women.
