Kiva Lender: Benjamin

Location: Rockville Centre, NY United States
Occupation: Microfinance Partnerships Manager with Kiva.org
I loan because: billions of people in the world live in poverty each day despite the will, desire, and hope of escaping through hard work and determination.
About me: I have the best job in the world talking to microfinance institutions in Anglophone Africa about Kiva, helping them to partner with Kiva, and monitoring the partnership through time. My cup brims over.
