1 down, 11 to go!
And we’re off on another exciting year of Kiva lending!
The first loan of 2014 goes to Mayrambi in Tajikistan. I just really loved that she’s borrowing money to expand her caramel apple business. Mayrambi’s listing says that she is a “cook-confectioner in her soul.” I couldn’t miss the opportunity to help her invest in more sugar and apples. I love micro-lending!
Does anyone else have micro-lending as a part of their 2014 plans?

I have a single loan that I re-send out every time it gets paid back in full. I’d like to start contributing more! I actually just sent my next loan out this week, contributing to the funds a fellow was using to put doors and windows into his family’s house. I can’t imagine not having door or windows…so basic. And his funding deadline was approaching. It had to go to that family.
