Kiva Lender Andrew R

Owner at VT Sustainable Real Estate, LLC
I loan because:
I believe that building local, small businesses is the most effective way at equalizing the world. By always reinvesting loans and never removing the initial funds, a recycling system is created that should make a significant impact on the world. I would like more companies to use Kiva as their recipient of their corporate social responsibility, if they agree to never remove their investment from the system. For example, a company could donate $100, or it could loan $100. If the loan is continually recycled in the system, that $100 will help numerous businesses start across the globe.
