What does it need to become social and helpful?
nice info, I hv joined it two years ago, but forget to introduce such a valuable helping site
thanks for sharing
You are welcome. The best part with Kiva is that you get $25 for free to help with. I already helped a mexican family who have a small business.
What a great charity! I would not have known about it without this post. Thanks again Chris for the wonderful work you
did on this. I will definitely donate in the memory of my Mexican friend Adon who struggled in this country for many years.
Please, if you are reading this article, share it with your friends!
Thank you Deborah. One of my friends in another network show me Kiva. Because they offered a free $25 to help I started to do so. When the money came back I invested myself $25 to help. You can chose yourself which person or group you want to loan the money. I really like the idea of this site.
I did too, I like the idea of being able to pick a person to help. I really believe one person at a time we could all make a difference.
great institution..
I had the change to make another helpful loan because I got a bonus for referring someone.
Kossi Agoe, Togo
A loan to to buy dishes, glasses, and other items.
Just made my first loan, thanks Christian!
took me a while to do this ( aahemm...small lack of funds)but i finally managed it, I think this is a great cause!
Thank you for joining Deborah. Now I can make another loan. :)
I just made my first website on one of the free pages , I will put it on there, don't have any traffic yet but hopefully it will get out soon..posted it to facebook and shared it. Great post, without fanbox,this information and the ability to do things like this wouldn't be possible for me! I love this site!
Great post... I sincerely hope you will help a lot of needy people and I do believe that there are many people who are willing to share whatever they have. God Bless!
Thank you Vena. It may not as much as you think. I promoted Kiva on another network and even that it is free for the first $25 you get as a gift to make your first loan, most people did not join.
Thats great Christian! As soon as i can i will make another one. We can't afford any heat yet. i am working on getting a heater for the house ours broke last year. drinking a lot of coffee this morning to keep warm!
I am very sorry to hear that. Hope you will get a heater soon.
Thank-you, yeah me too! I am coffeeed out right now! Have a great night !
