The Holy Order Of Kites And Hats invites you to join us in our quest to make the world a better place. What we're doing, and how it helps: Simply put, we are loaning small amounts of money to some of the world's poorest people to help them start or expand their own businesses and escape poverty. We do this with the assistance of Kiva, a non-profit internet company which links individual lenders to people all over the world in need of financial assistance. How you can help: You can sign up and become your own lender. This will allow you to choose who you will lend your money to, and to recieve feedback on how your loan has improved the lives of others. When your loan is repaid, you then have the choice to withdrawl your original principle, or to re-loan the funds to someone else. To get started, view our team page http://kiva.org/team/kitesandhats and sign up.
Who have we helped so far?
Our third loan was to Anavita Monge Navarro in Costa Rica, Anavita Monge Navarro is 47 years old. She is single and has two children who are her main priority. The children are 14 and 16 years old, respectively. She wants this loan in order to help her farm. The basic project consists in making seedbeds for coffee. She wants to make the seedbeds, then plant part of them and sell the rest to other farmers. By maintaining the plants adequately, she will have a better harvest and then she will have greater economic earnings. This is not her first loan with FUDECOSUR and she is very happy with the opportunities given. She says that this has helped her make progress with her projects. She hopes in the future, she will give her children an education and a better quality of life. Our second loan was to Ramzan in Pakistan,
Our first loan was to Abdullo Rasulov,
