RE: KIVA Loans Update March 2018
I've done $100 in loans with them. So far I've had one default. The other one is still getting paid back. It's not due to be paid back at a specific time, but when it is, I'll look up the Steem group.
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.
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.
