Kiva Lender Shelby
Location:
San Francisco, CA, United States
Occupation:
Portfolio Risk Manager @ Kiva!
I loan because:
I've lived in East Africa and seen the unbelievable effects of microfinance and Kiva with my own eyes. I like loaning because it's not giving someone a handout - just giving them a hand.
About me:
I help ensure that the hard earned dollars that are loaned through Kiva make it safely to the entrepreneurs across the world, and that the money is also reliably repaid to those lenders.
