Kiva Lender eileen
Location:
New York, NY, United States
Occupation:
Kiva Fellow
I loan because:
Kiva allows me to make a personal connections with amazing entrepreneurs around the globe to not only support their business through funds but be a global cheerleader and feel inspired personally as I follow them along the path of their own business triumphs and challenges.
About me:
As a Kiva Fellow serving in Manipur, India with the field partner, WSDS, I am in for an awakening of sorts every day. In only a week into my fellowship, I have met over 50+ women, visited different tribal villages and heard stories about how their life (and family's life) have improved because of their Kiva loan. I quite my corporate job in NYC to do this fellowship and every single second I am thankful for the choices that has led me down this path to bear witness to these tenacious, hard-working and "quite jolly" women.
