Last May for Mother's Day I set up a Kiva account for Shea from Pace and put $100 in it. Now almost a year later, our initial loans were 75% repaid. After watching the following video we decided to immediately re-loan that money rather than waiting for it all to be paid back.
Here is a link to show the two people we loaned to originally and now, a female farmer in Cambodia we lent $70 to which finalized her total loan amount and will allow her to build a concrete floor to store her rice. (Click on Map View to see the locations in the world of the three people we've lent to – I can't wait to see what that looks like in five or ten years!)
