Oh, wonderful to read this! I’ve been a lender on Kiva since 2009 and I did a fellowship programme with Kiva last summer, when I served as a Field Fellow in Tajikistan, working with Kiva’s three local partners among the country’s micro-finance institutions, MFIs. It was a great experience and it only reinforced my faith in microloans as a solution to poverty alleviation and in Kiva and its mission.
I hope you will join our team on Kiva.org too! ;)
