Veronica Wangare is 53 years old. She is married with 6 children. She is a member of ACK Church Gitumbi and also a member of Karaba Umoja women's group. As a result of inadequate supply of water in her residential location, she has concluded that she needs to buy a water tank for storage of water. During the dry season, she fetches water from the bore holes; most times, this water is dirty. She has applied for a loan of USD 300 to enable her to buy water tank to harvest rain water. She is willing to repay this loan in 12 months.

WEEC loan default
 
Entrepreneur: Veronica Wangari
Location: Muranga, Kenya

Kiva recently notified you that your loan to the business or businesses above will not be repaid in full and is now considered defaulted. As a reminder, any amount of this loan that has been collected by Kiva is available to you as Kiva Credit. You can re-lend this Kiva Credit to another business, withdraw it or donate to Kiva on our website: www.kiva.org.

Reason for default:

All entrepreneur profiles on Kiva’s website are posted by local Field Partners. This particular business was posted by our Kenyan Field Partner, the Women’s Economic Empowerment Consort (WEEC).

WEEC is currently experiencing significant operational difficulties that have caused all active WEEC loans to default. It is important to note that in many cases the entrepreneur repaid the loan to WEEC in full and did benefit from your loan. However, WEEC has experienced operational problems caused by a number of factors, including the unexpected death of WEEC’s founder and Executive Director, poor management of funds, and economic and political unrest in Kenya. Together, these factors produced a situation where Kiva is unable to get a 100% clear account of your specific loan and recover your full loan amount from WEEC.

To learn more, please visit:

We hope you realize that this outcome is an exception to the norm when lending at Kiva and that you’ll give lending another chance. If you have any questions, please let us know and thanks again for your ongoing support.

Sincerely,

Shelby Clark

Kiva Staff
