Kiva Loan: Birthday Bonus(es)!

2 bonus loans!

For my birthday I received two Kiva loans in the form of gift cards. I think Jenny and Mike both know me very well!

Yesterday I sat down to redeem the cards and choose loan recipients. It’s always so hard to choose when there are so many good projects to fund. This time I selected borrowers from El Salvador and the Philippines.


Photo from Carmen’s Kiva listing.

Carmen de Jesus (El Salvador) requested a loan to buy fresh produce for her produce stand. She believes this will help her keep up with the competition and says that her previous Kiva loan has made her life more stable.


Photo from Erlinda’s Kiva listing.

Erlinda Cabbab (Philippines) requested a loan for farming equipment to improve the quality of her rice crop. She hopes to provide all of her children with an education. I also love this photo. You can tell she’s a busy woman with plenty of things to do.

Has anyone else received a Kiva gift card? Or given one?
