RE: KIVA Loans Update July 2018
I have a few that are outstanding. I haven't had the best experience with getting repaid, but it's a risk that you take. One of the guys had a bad harvest and everything got wiped out. I lost a few dollars, but he lost his income and food, so I don't really have much room to complain.
I still think it's a cool program. I would like to see more focus on sustainable projects. I see a lot where someone wants to remodel their house or something, which is not bad, but I have more a focus on helping them get chickens to sell the eggs, or seeds to plant a crop, or solar power so they don't have to buy as much fuel for cooking fires. Everyone has different things that they focus on though.
