Kiva Lender Saloni
- Location:
- San Jose CA United States
- Occupation:
- Student & Kiva Intern
- I loan because:
- As a high school (now college!!) student, I contribute to Kiva to help woman attain financial stability in developing countries. I also use the principles of economics to spread the risk of my lending portfolio. Using the profits from my own non-profit handicraft business and occasional birthday gifts, I have helped 250 women thus far. I focus on women with low socioeconomic status and need less than a $1000 loan. I lend the repaid money to other entrepreneurs, creating a perpetual cycle of giving and receiving. As a Kiva Intern, I'm helping to expand the Kiva High School program!
Highlights of my Kiva portfolio
➢ 100% of loans to women
➢ Does not fund loans that promote gambling or alcoholism
➢ 250 loans funded in 26 countries
➢ Smaller amount for each loan to spread the risk and help more women
➢ Favors Kiva MFIs with a 4 or 5 star rating to minimize the risk of defaulted loans
➢ Focus on entrepreneurs from countries with low per capita income
➢ Focuses on loans funded in countries with less than 5,000 USD per capita income
➢ Most of my loans on Kiva request less than 1,000 USD
