RE: KIVA Loans Update March 2018

in #kiva7 years ago

I’ve had a couple of defaults as well but I guess that’s part of the process to be expected. It’s sad you lose your capital and it can’t be relent. I’m trying to choose loans with a shorter repayment period now so the money can cycle more quickly and do more good.

Sort:  

That a good idea. I had been choosing loans that would benefit people on an ongoing basis, like buying chickens so they could sell eggs, or buy a cow so they could sell milk, or seeds so they could sell crops and have seeds for the next year. There are probably pluses of both system.
