- We are ALL in this together! There is more than enough wealth in this world to share with all! And I'm more than happy to share what little of this wealth I have with those who truly need it! ___ May 10, 2013 - I initially joined Kiva in Nov 2009 and I loaned $25 each to 5 different people. In the meantime, with the money that's been paid back and that goes back into my Kiva account - instead of withdrawing it via PayPal, I just re-lend it to other struggling entrepreneurs. It's truly rewarding to help. I could easily withdraw the money and be done - but it's more fun to just use that same initial $150 and continue cycling that money through. If I ever chose to - I could stop lending and get my $150 back - but I don't need it at much as the folks do. $25 at a time can really help these people out. I encourage all who are reading this to join! You can read how it all works here: http://www.kiva.org/about/how ___ Feb 18, 2019 - I'm still a member and still believe in what Kiva does! So happy to be a part of it! I've made a total of 33 loans now by recycling the same $150 I used in 2009. It has equaled a total of $800 in total loans. Whenever I get repaid, I just choose another person to loan it back out to. ___ Dec 16, 2025 - Yup! Still supporting Kiva! Have now made a total of 41 loans by reloaning the same $150 I initially loaned after it was all paid back! Thanks & please consider joining Kiva! Brooke --
