Default The KIVA Team

Greetings,
The current members of the Kiva Team wish to invite you to join:


I want to recruit you to my lending team, BFPlanet, on Kiva, a non-profit website that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur across the globe. You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay the loan, you get your money back.

If you join my lending team, we can work together to alleviate poverty. Once you're a part of the team, you can choose to have a future loan on Kiva "count" towards our team's impact. The loan is still yours, and repayments still come to you - but you can also choose to have the loan show up in our team's collective portfolio, so our team's overall impact will grow!

The link for the team is below,,you can join Kiva and the team before you even make a loan...to anyone....so check it out.



Feel free to choose not to join but please do not post negatives that will dampen the spirits of people who have chosen to be a team.




Edited to add by Linus:

Please keep in mind that this is neither endorsed or sanctioned by BFP. This is a member run project.

KIVA is an organization worth supporting. hands down. It's on my list as a developer (when I have some money to spare --hopefully soon)

Thanks Heart- That's a pretty good article explaining how micro-lending works now and where it is going in the future.
Let's support it!

Default Loans so far

So far the BF Planet members have attributed 3 loans to BFPlanet. The three members of the BFPlanet have made a total of 54 loans to various indviduals on Kiva. Three of these loans BFPlanet has received credit for. this is beacuse some people belong to more than one team...


2 loans to the
Five Virgins Group
Clothing Sales, Ghana
Paying Back
16% repaid

one loan to:
Princess Odiase
Beauty Salon, Nigeria
Paying Back
25% repaid

As you can see both individuals have been paying back their loans.

Please join Kiva, loan some funds (25 dollars is all it takes) you get repaid....
When you attribute a loan to a team it means the team gets credit for it...it does not mean you give the loan to the team or the team has any control of the funds. You control the funds you lend.

the GLBT Team on kiva has lent a total of about 800,000 dollars to date....

www.kiva.org check it out

it is fun,

This is a great gift for the person who has 'everything'! Actually, I've known about KIVA for several years; I only discovered this interest group today! I encourage those that are able to join and make a difference!

I am a huge KIVA fan and have been donating for years. I do not belong to the BFP team as I already belong to a team. I encourage everyone to join. You can loan the same $25 over and over again, you don't need to make a large donation to make a difference.
