Kiva Lender Mawuli

Software Engineer
I loan because:
... I'm happy.
| Happy because I'm giving a hand up instead of a handout.
| Truth is this: very poor people need a little money to set up a business that can make a dramatic difference in the quality of their lives.
| When I lend money to disadvantaged people, it gives them a sense of pride rather than the humiliation they may feel over a handout.
| ... I am directly helping real people around the world to get the micro financing they need to become self-sufficient and break the cycle of poverty.
About me:
I was born and raised in the villages of Ghana, West Africa. I like to lend money to people who look like my mother.
