Kiva Microloans: Doing well so far

I'm a big fan of Kiva, a web site where you can lend small amounts of money to hard working entrepreneurs in developing nations.

My experience has been very good so far; all of the money I've loaned has either been paid back completely or is getting close. Most people recycle the money that's paid back, which is what I intend to do in the next couple of weeks.

If you're interested, check out my Kiva loan portfolio. I encourage you to try Kiva too!

Graham you got me started on Kiva.org (through Mike Cannon-Brookes) almost a year ago, and I have since made 12 loans (http://www.kiva.org/lender/staffordvaughan) and just recently received my first fully repayed loan. I can't wait to re-invest in another Kiva business.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Stafford,

It's great that you joined Kiva and have already helped a bunch of entrepreneurs! It's a lot of fun, isn't it!

Cheers,
Graham

I too learned of Kiva.org on this very blog! This reminds me to check on the Bulgarian Worm Farm I loaned money to... Hey, it's repaying on schedule. What a great system.
