microlending: KIVA Updates - Ya Gotta Read Your Email To Get 'Em - 11/08/07 07:27 AM
Sebastian, Florida
It's important to not only check your email, but the RIGHT email. Found I'd been getting regular reports about Asia and Dilorom (our two entrepeneurs) and didn't know it. I had established a new email account on Yahoo that I'd totally spaced on - so here's the latest on KIVA loan repayment as of an email received 29 Oct 2007:

Here's what our little slice of enterprising humanity is doing since early April 2007:
Paying back loans

microlending: Friends, Rainers, and Countrymen - Lend KIVA Your Ears - and 25 Bucks! - 04/20/07 11:57 PM
20 April 2007 - Madison, Wisconsin
As some of you know, Bill and I are proponents of KIVA, the rapidly growing organization that helps provide microfinance - as microloans - for third world and developing nation business-persons and entrepreneurs. The loans vary from around $300 to $1400 and every business is pre-screened by partner lenders in the host countries or region.
