Location:
New South Wales Australia Australia
Occupation:
Writer and web designer
I loan because:
The hardest part of starting or expanding a business is the cash-squeeze upfront. Even more so in poorer countries. By lending through Kiva we're sponsoring the borrower to improve the lives of everyone in the community around them, as the borrower may offer goods or services previously unavailable in the community, and sometimes the borrower's business may employ others as well, providing money and work experience.
About me:
Jay writes about how to use software.
Claire designs web sites.
