Hard to believe that Kiva.org has been around for twenty years!
I am so glad that I am part of its life-changing mission in the world!
To sweeten the pot, the site has offered a 20-dollar credit to all who help fund a loan today... so I made sure to do that!
She's a mother of two, and her loan is for construction materials to improve the rental properties she owns.
Note: this is the third loan the enterprising young woman has had with kiva!
Did I say "young"?
That's because she is 42, the same age as my first niece!
That was yet another reason to choose Yesica for my loan.
I even added a few words to encourage others to lend to her.
"She reminds me so much of my first niece! Same age, single mom of two, working hard to make the dream come true for herself and others! Plus, this is her 3rd loan - she's definitely a go-getter!"
And look at this: I've completed a badge on the website!
Without even trying, I've funded three loans that are classified as "Basic Needs".
I'm not sure just which ones those are, but I'm glad to have the badge!
Now, to decide who the recipient will be of the $20 credit that Kiva gives me for participating in their Anniversary funding drive...
