I just made another micro loan in Kiva.org to help a farmer in Tajikistan - Pay It Forward
I tend to use my micro loan dollars for women in underdeveloped countries, or men and women who supply fruit and vegetable crops to their people.
I'm not a big supporter of anything to do with animal farming for reasons that are pretty obvious.
Anyway, Farhod was born in 1973. He is an honest and goal-oriented person. He is married and is a father of four children. His wife does not work; she is a homemaker and looks after the children. Farhod is involved in growing agricultural crops and also buying and selling vegetables and fruits. His previous loan from Imon International provided him with a good result. He increased his turnover, gathered a good harvest and improved his quality of life. Farhod wants to obtain a loan in the sum of $3000 for the purchase of mineral fertilizers, which would allow him to get a good harvest. He also wants to use the loan for the purchase of seeds and payment of worker wages.
Together with about 120 other micro lenders, we are supplying Farhod with the funds he needs.

High Five, Ralph! I hope that this program does some good for people who need a little help.
I love Kiva, you just reminded me to check to see how my loans are doing.
What a great way to pay it forward, Ralph. I have never heard of Kiva but will check out this organization.
Now this is how loans out to be made. Locally, and with investing showing the "growth" Good post and reminder.
Awesome, Ralph! Farmers, especially in other countries need all the help they can get right now!
Ralph, This is truly amazing. I need to check out the Kiva organization. Many people making a contribution can make a huge difference in so many lives.
Hi Ralph. I've been doing KIVA for 2 years. Each time a loan is almost paid off, I add enough to my pot to make $25 then reloan it out.
