Lend Out To Uplift Self-sufficiency, CA United States
I loan because:
it can be the answer someone is hoping for, in order to continue/grow their business and get ahead in life - and Kiva is for real:
"A Kiva gift certificate from Michael Peachey (www.kiva.org/lender/mpeachey) was my initial spark. The hardships faced by Kiva entrepreneurs moved me & I realized that I could reach out via Kiva. At a presentation by Kiva Fellow, Jessica Heinzelman. I learned first-hand how real Kiva is (www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=comment&id=26650&ent=68310). Empowered to be part of the Kiva experience I started team LOTUS (www.kiva.org/team/lotus)". It is fun to connect with lenders world-wide on Kiva -- RaviG
