FAMA OPDF
Status Update — October 16, 2013
FAMA OPDF is no longer using funding from Kiva lenders. After more than three years, nearly $350,000 in repaid loans, and more than 900 borrowers impacted, Kiva and FAMA have ended their partnership. During this time, the organization always made payments to Kiva on time. We thank FAMA for their years of collaboration and hope to work with them again in the future.
