Kiva Lender Dr. Patrick Mendis
- Location:
- Reston VA United States
- Occupation:
- Educator
- I loan because:
- These courageous micro-entrepreneurs remind me that I was like one of them when I was growing up with 13 water-buffaloes on a three-acre rice field in Sri Lanka. I know the value of micro-loan, which helped my family to break-away from the cycle of poverty caused by poor rice harvest, unpredictable monsoon, or simply being poor. A small loan could transform a person, a family, a village, and a nation.
- About me:
- As an AFS (American Field Service) scholar I came to Minnesota in 1978 to study. After my government service in Washington, I returned to academia. Now I am an affiliate professor of public and international affairs at George Mason University. With the sales of my recent books, I established a number of tsunami scholarships and a Peace Prize in Sri Lanka. All proceeds after income tax are donated to charity and micro-finance programs.
