I loan because:
Guided by a basic creed shared by Warren Buffett and the Gates Foundation, "every life has equal value". Unfortunately circumstances in the community and society structures restricts people's opportunities, which everybody deserves to have. That is six billion people who've got much poorer hands in life than we have. Access to capital should never be restricted. For the finance literate audience, the return on capital should not be define by only dollars and cents. A number cannot capture the intangible, utility factor of lives being changed, which as a consequence, roots for a harmonious community in the future. Let's do our best to plant many seeds so others can follow and give to others and make our world a far better place. PS. Eric, you'll always be in our hearts. www.kiva.org/lender/soeric
