Last year, we made a microloan through Kiva to assist a woman who sells cereals (beans, grains, etc) in a bazaar in Khachmaz, Azerbaijan.The loan has been repaid in full so we re-loaned our money, this time to a 42-year-old widow with an 8-year-old at home.
She lives in Rwanda and operates a hardware store. She’ll be using the money (a total of $900 made up of small amounts like our $25) to expand her offerings and will be repaying the full amount within 10 months.
