May 2016 Update
In April, we celebrated our first Kiva 100% loan repayment, with our lending program just now entering its seventh month of existence!
Meet Hermenegildo, our first borrower to complete his loan repayment!

His loan repayment allows us to re-extend those funds to another deserving entrepreneur who needs a helping hand.
For this, we say thank you to him and to Kiva for making it possible for us to support and foster the entrepreneurial spirit worldwide. As of today, we’ve made 24 loans assisting small business owners in 18 different countries!

November 2015 – Kiva Team Launch
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that this month we are launching our Kiva #GuidesGiveBack lending team.

Starting this month, a portion of guide listing fees will be used to support microlending in the developing world, and a contribution will also be made for every traveler sign-up.

We have kicked off our team with contributions that helped the following borrowers achieve their full loan funding:
- Hermenegildo, a journeyman worker in Peru who is in need of additional tools
- Linet, a supplier of firewood in Kenya who requires more stock to sell
- Nusrat, a fabric trader in Pakistan who is expanding her business with new products
- Esther, a coffee-drier in Mexico who needs building repairs for her business after an earthquake
- Devora, a produce supplier in Nicaragua who requires a variety of perishables to sell
- Janet, a seamstress in the Philippines who is short on materials and needs maintenance on her sewing machine
- Everlyne, a restaurant owner in Kenya who serves a local clientele and needs to replenish her stock of ingredients
Every sign up for a free traveler account or subscription to a listing plan results in a Kiva micro-loan contribution. It’s a total win-win, so don’t hesitate!
