nerdfighter of kiva, for education!
Education truly is the key to ending poverty.
A degree in higher education leads to making better choices, which is always beneficial.
Kiva is having a push toward a goal of one billion dollars loaned since its inception in 2005.
I became a Nerdfighter for Kiva in July of 2012 and have now made nine loans, including the two today.
One was made to Yaleska, a young woman in Nicaragua, striving to complete her degree in accounting and finance.
The other was to Maycol, a young man in Nicarauga, who will become an anesthesia technologist.
I suggest you check out their causes, or perhaps find others close to your heart, and give a mere $25.
I assure you: every dollar helps.

As of December 17, 2018, Maycol has COMPLETELY repaid the loan I gave him!
Now, I can take that $25 and lend it to someone else.
Bravo for him!
