Today I made my 6th Kiva loan, supporting a small business owner in the Philippines. When Kiva started back in 2004, I pitched in $25 (the minimum loan contribution) to Sem Voeun, a female business owner (grocery) in Cambodia. I was so proud when the loan was met, and when Sem got the support she needed for her food cart and was successful in repaying the loan on time. I've since re-invested in a handful of other female entrepreneurs in Peru, Senegal, Kyrgyzstan, and now, the Philippines.
Viola Rubello owns a grocery store in the Philippines, and requested a small loan to buy a solar light to extend her business hours after nightfall. I'm so happy I was able to help her get her loan, and look forward to seeing her success!
It only takes $25 to help out a small business owner, and right now Kiva is giving away a limited amount of free $25 credits for signing up on the site. You can help out owner without spending a dime, and if they repay the full amount (98.91% of Kiva loan recipients have repaid their loans in full) you can re-invest that money in a different business.
There's never been a better time to make a difference. Sign up here and make an impact.
