KIVA LOANS
Kiva provides a place to loan money to small entrepreneurs around the world. In March of 2017 we made 3 loans during International Women's Day. These $25.00 loans, part of a larger loan need were doubled by sponsors. Each loan made will require the group or person given the loan to pay monthly (most loans) with interest. When the loan is paid back we will be able to reinvest in another project or withdraw our money at any time.
You will find that the loans are missing some numbers. Loan lengths are from 6 months to 3 years. Those who are paid in full had shorter loan times and are listed at the bottom of the page once paid in full.
We have a partner in this endeavour, Cathy Gaudry. Cathy has been making loans almost as long as we have. We so appreciate having her. We hope to continue to provide a few more of these loans as time and money permit. It is my hope to be able to get our investment up to at least $250.00.
