Remember that HoserNews is going to be funding loans from Kiva at least once a month, and you still have time to help us decide what business we should help give loan funding to

Layla is a 41 year-old mother of 3. She lives with her family in south Lebanon, in the region of Nabatieh. This is the second time Layla is asking for a loan from Al Majmoua. She needs to buy new merchandise for her accessories store. Layla does not only limit her business to accessories sales but also works in the make-up sector.

The latest payment was made on April 15, 2008, and I can’t see any reason not to have all of the payments made on time.

I will continue to be making at least one donation every month for the forseeable future. If you see a business that you think we should invest in please let me know.
