Kiva: Year in Review

“Loans that change lives.”

Over the course of 2011 my goal was to fund one Kiva loan per month. I’m happy to say that I stuck with it and funded a total of 12 loans over the year. While some goals (or resolutions) are easy to forget, lending via Kiva had me feeling excited each and every month.

Here’s what my loans look like on the map:

And here’s their progress:

Not too bad!

For the coming year I’ve decided to do things a bit differently. The new plan is only lend money that I’ve already invested. So instead of paying more money into Kiva, I’ll use the repayments to fund more loans. I hope to have enough repaid to fund a loan every two months.

Do you have any Kiva plans for 2012?
