Helping others help themselves through Kiva

Tweet

Back in September 2019, long-term member @DeborahDiane wrote about Kiva and how she donates to this charity. Because of her post I donated $25 to a lady in Nicaragua. Others loaned to the same lady and that loan has now been paid back in full. Once I was refunded by $25, I lent to another person. It’s taken a while but six years later, I’ve lent the same $25 to eight people, all of whom have paid me back. I’ve also donated a requested small amount to help with administrative costs but all of my $25 goes to the person needing the money. Yesterday, I lent another $75 as it is such a good cause. I get to choose who the money goes to and I get emails as, bit by bit, the person repays their loan. We’re not regular church-goers and don’t tithe but we try to give back to society in other ways. The photo was taken from the top of Baladjie Rock. We free-camped there for two days and actually managed to climb to the top. I’ll write more about it later. Those are salt lakes in the background.
