Time for Another Kiva Loan

Some of the money I loaned through Kiva has been repaid ... so time to invest in another entrepreneur!

This week I'm able to help out a woman in Cambodia. From her home, she runs a clothing sewing and design business. Please meet Kong Thida.

She's asked for a $1,000 loan to update her home so that garment factory workers can rent the space. I was able to loan $25.00 to help her with that goal. Combined with other lenders, Kong Thida will soon have the funds she needs.

Won't you consider making a Kiva loan too? Business folks in developing countries all over the world can use a boost. When their businesses thrive, they can then employ others in their community. Gradually, they can be lifted from poverty. YOU can make a difference.

For you needlework friends, please consider joining my lending team, Needles for Change. We are a group of friends who met through a common love of stitching. We are choosing to make loans through Kiva to honor each other and all those around the world who love or make their living through needlework.

Kiva. Loans that change lives.
