Kiva Lender Jen
Location:
Portland, ME, United States
Occupation:
programmer
I loan because:
I want to help people make a better life for themselves and their families. Here in the US we have so much that we take for granted and I feel that it is the least I can do.
About me:
I work as a programmer. In my spare time I knit and spin yarn, amongst other things.
When my son was 9 years old and my daughter 5 I got them involved on Kiva, and they often help me choose new loans. I want to teach them to think outside of our immediate environment and view the world as a community that can help one another on a very personal basis. They are very excited to be able to help someone halfway across the world!
