kiva update
 

so looking at kiva , gave them money many months ago and now my loans are (5 of them) mostly 58% paid back....

seems to be slowly working......

Whats Kiva?

Thats a really good thing your doing,very cool.

It is a really neat idea actually. Good stuff sleazy! :thumbsup

Basically you are funded projects for people who would otherwise not be able to raise the funds. All sorts of interesting projects.

Microloans to 3rd world countries....

I am a Kiva lender as well.. loan is behind but not in default.... then again its like 70% paid back..

They just started up in the USA...

I think its a very cool idea--- How thorough are the borrowers checked?


Pay it forward baby!

67% paid, I think I became a lender when the big post about this was on here about 2 years ago.

Heh since I last posted my loan is now in default. They never paid it all back, and the rest they say, is a write off.
