Does anyone have experience with KIVA?

Post Reply New Topic

I am interested in getting involved but would like to find feedback from someone who has worked with them previously.

What's a Kiva?

It is a religious cult: See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiva

Oh, ty, but that seems to be something else entirely. KIVA that I am referring to is an organization that manages microloans and groups microloans to help people in 3rd world countries establish small businesses or manage small business they already have. As the loans are repaid, the monies go into accounts that you can then use to make other loans to other applicants.. I have been getting FB feeds for sometime now, and I have actually known people on line who have established small business created from microloans but usually from local gangsters who charge ridiculous interests and use mafia like methodologies to collect on late payments.

I guessed it wasn't the religious cult you'd joined when I googled the term; I was just teasing. I'm afraid I know nothing about the KIVA that you really mean.

Thank you. It's okay. I am a bit slow on being teased. I can't most times tell the difference.
