Besides my passions for educating girls about investments and financial security, I am equally enthusiastic about supporting women entrepenues in the developing countries through Kiva.org. I do this as part of my charitable effort, but also to learn the social and financial impact microlending can have on people across the world who don’t have access to regular banking or sources of income. Sofar, I have supported a few causes listed below:
This is Hawa, a woman in Sierra Leone, who needed a microloan to help her purchase more foodstuffs like cooking items onions, palm oil, peppers, etc. to increase her business and to support her family.
This is Evelyn, a woman in the Phillippines, who needed loan helped to buy additional items like canned goods, chips, personal care products, etc. to sell in her store to further expand her business and support her three children.
Yvonne, a woman in Madagascar, who needed a microloan to improve her crop by purchasing potato seeds as well as chemical fertilizers.
Miralyn, a woman in the Philippines, who works hard in her fish selling business, needed a microloan for extra supplies and fish to sell in her shop to support her family.
