The Story of a Kiva Loan

January 12, 2009

I think the world of Kiva, a group that enables people to loan small amounts of money to people in developing countries to start or grow a business.  Back in August I made a loan to a lady who sells fruits and vegetables in Benin.  The loan is already 38% repaid and I fully anticipate reinvesting in another loan when it’s paid back.  I wondered just how the whole process works and low and behold, one person took it upon themselves to put together a really cool video showing the process of making a Kiva loan from beginning to end.  Definitely worth 10 minutes, so go get a cup of coffee and enjoy.  Let me know if you make a loan – great thing to be a part of.
