Turame Community Finance
Status update — July 17, 2018
Kiva and Turame Community Finance have agreed to end their partnership after nearly 8 years and nearly $5,000,000 in loans raised. This partner has repaid its outstanding balance to Kiva in full, and these funds have been distributed to lenders. We thank Turame for the years of collaboration and wish them success in their future endeavors.
Status update — April 26, 2017
Kiva has moved this Lending Partner to inactive status, due to changes in their funding sources. This means Turame is no longer fundraising loans on Kiva, though Kiva fully expects the partner to continue to send repayments owed to Kiva lenders for as long as the partner has an outstanding balance. If and when this partner requests to fundraise again on Kiva, Kiva will first conduct any additional monitoring and due diligence tasks we believe necessary.
