Your seed money, faithfully donated through the Change for Change bucket in the autumn of 2019, continues to support small businesses in the US and around the world.
This week, repayments funded two more loans. The first to Shahnoza in Tajikistan (https://www.kiva.org/lend/2565710), a widow with two children who is expanding her dairy. The second loan went to Faith in Uganda (https://www.kiva.org/lend/2565660) who needs to buy a deep freeze and dishes for her restaurant.
KIVA crowdfunds loans and unlocks capital for the underserved, improving the quality and cost of financial services, and addressing the underlying barriers to financial access around the world.
To date, Westsiders have made 33 loans as previous loans have been repaid. You are changing the world.
