Kiva Lender: Oliver
Location:
Beverly Hills, CA United States
Occupation:
Lawyer
I loan because:
It seems like a good way to help people help themselves. One problem with many third world economies is the lack of capital. Kiva provides capital where it otherwise would not be available, and injects badly needed cash into poor economies.
About me:
I believe reason is far superior to faith, especially when it comes to bringing people together and reducing human suffering. Rather than telling poor people to pray, or not to use condoms, let's give them some real help!
