Robert, 29, has two children, a boy, 6, and a girl, 3. He runs a motorcycle transportation business, commonly known as boda-boda transport. For four years, Robert and his wife sold roasted chicken, fruits, and drinks on the Kampala – Mbale (Najjembe) highway. He noticed an untapped opportunity in the business of transporting local buyers and their goods. He rented a motorcycle and tried the business. For the last six months, he has realized a better income, though part of that goes to the owner of the motorcycle. Rental fees take a significant part of the income.


He is asking for $1200 to purchase a new motorcycle. The loan will be repaid in twelve months.

Dear Lender,

This is an update on your loan to Robert Jiuuko in Uganda. Thank you for supporting the low-income Ugandan entrepreneur listed above by lending through Kiva.

You may have noticed that repayments on this loan have not been coming in for quite some time. After repeated attempts to collect funds from Share an Opportunity MFI Ltd, the Kiva field partner disbursing and collecting repayments from this entrepreneur, our team has determined that further repayments on your loan are highly unlikely. Therefore, this loan is now considered to be in default. To learn more, please visit:

http://www.kiva.org/about/aboutPartner?id=37

Although your loan was not repaid in full in this case, we hope you realize that over 95% of loans have been repaid in full to date on Kiva. We hope you'll give lending to developing world entrepreneurs another chance in the future.

Thank you,

Ben Elberger
