Internationally empowering.


For the longest time I've wanted to be a part of Kiva. Anyone can microfinance loans to developing-world entrepreneurs. It's so easy, yet so fulfilling. This morning I woke up and browsed through a couple pages of entrepreneurs needing money for such businesses as sewing clothes, making wrought iron contraptions, or buying more food for their pig farm... The cool part is your loan gets repaid, and they the cycle starts all over again.

I like to find entrepreneurs that have unique businesses, and children, and cool locations. So please meet, Loimata Ioapo. She is 28-years-old and married with three children, living in Saleapaga, Samoa. Her loan is going towards buying building materials for her business where she builds thatched roof beach houses. :)
