Kiva Lender Karen
- Location:
- Harpenden Herts United Kingdom
- Occupation:
- Project Portfolio Manager
- I loan because:
- My husband and I have been blessed in having enough to take care of our family's needs. I feel it incumbent on me to offer people the helping hand they need to also have enough to take care of their families' needs. I prefer the lending system to outright donations (although I do donate to a number of charities) because I believe it's better to help people make a sustainable living.
- About me:
- I manage project portfolios (ie a whole basket of projects) for investment banks in Europe. I've been doing it for over 25 years! I am also involved in a start-up that has technology which turns waste into diesel. In our spare time (the little there is of it), hubby and I like travelling and wildlife photography.
