ReplyDeleteHussain works at a blacksmith shop and wants the loan to buy a specialized piece of equipment and to buy a generator. He wants the loan because he is the sole provider of income in his family and having a generator and the piece of equipment will increase his profits. Hussain wants to make sure his children get an education, which I think is incredibly important for children to have. By giving his children an education it will also increase the chance that they will get good jobs so they can have a better life.
I think this is a good idea because it's important for people to have an education.

I think it is a good idea to invest your money into a loan that goes to someone who is helping others and not just themselves.

ReplyDeleteI am choosing to help Elchin from Azerbaijan. He is married and has two children. One is a two year old and the other is a eleven year old. He is a taxi driver and he has been for nine years. His family relies on him for all the money and income.
His loan he is asking for is for 600 AZN so that he can repair his taxi car. He says that this year his car was damaged so now he can’t work. He needs to fix his car so that he can restore his monthly income back to normal. He hopes that if his car can be repaired he can go back to supporting his family. He says that this is his second loan from Kiva.
Daphine is from Kyotera, Uganda. She is 45 years old and a single mom of 6 children. She works 15 hours a day, 7 days a week. She hopes to enlarge her business and her challenges are limited capital and clients who take a long time to settle debts. You should invest in her because she has a child in school and she needs to hire someone else to work so she can be there for her children. -Myers
ReplyDeleteThis is obviously a hard working, caring mother. This is a wonderful idea because she clearly needs this.
DeleteI think it is a good idea to loan money to her, that way she can be more successful with her business and she can spend more time with her family.

She saw an opportunity for a profitable business to help people feel better. She has her own nutrition club which has had good results. She wants the loan to buy more stock like vitamins and dietary supplies that will help expand her business. The money will go towards her business and help her buy supplies.

Lila Keyla is from Peru and is looking to buy a store. Throughout her whole life she has sold beauty products from her home, and watched her mother do it as well. She wants to have her own building, her own little store instead of having to sell from her house. Her husband is a farmer but most of their money comes from her sellings. She is 37 and I think she deserves it because she has had a career-long dream. She also isn’t wanting animal feed to fatten her animals like every other person in Peru.

Vilfido is a 48 year old man with two kids in Honduras. He needs some money to buy raw materials such as pickles onions and Jalapeños. He has worked in gardening for several years. He now makes a living selling prepackaged goods and goods he makes. He makes pickled onions, carrot and jalapeños. He also needs money to buy pumpkin seeds peanuts and cumin.
ReplyDeleteI think it is good to donate to Vilfido because he is a hardworker. He knows the ins and outs of his business. He knows what to buy for product that people want to buy. He is good at marketing and that is basically all you need to do to be successful.

Lilya is a hardworking responsible lady from Ukraine. She is married and has one grown son. She owns a small stall at the local market where she sells hosiery and shoes, and has been in the business for 15 years. She is asking for a loan of $1,225, or 10,000 hyyvni, to help her buy more products and seasonal shoes for her store. By getting new products and higher quality products she is able to expand her profits. I think this is a good investment because I feel she will use the money wisely.
