I should remind you loyal visitors, this site wouldn’t make a red cent if you didn’t drop by. After the hosting is paid for there is usually a little funds left over and with $25 of that I help out a business through Kiva.org. In April I helped fund Victoria Margarita Rodriguez De Vega (WOW what a name), she is from El-Cortijo-La Libertad, Peru and is in the Service industry. She will be using this small loan to help build her stock.

Victoria is 48 years of age, and she graduated from high school. She has three sons but only supports two of them. She lives in the district El Cortijo, in the province of Trujillo and in the department La Libertad. She sells fuels in the local market

So I bet you are wondering who we helped out with a Kiva Loan in March? Well it was none other than . Patrick is in the food business and needs some capital to help build his stock.

Patrick Oboh is married with 5 children, and he is 45 years old. He sells provisions and soap and has been in business since 2002. He is from Edo State, Nigeria. He needs the loan of $875 to buy more provisions for sale.

Patrick is our third loan, and was dispersed on April 3rd by Lift Above Poverty Organization in Nigeria

Thank you for your loan. It has been disbursed to Patrick Oboh by Lift Above Poverty Organization (LAPO) in Nigeria. We are excited to watch this business grow. Over the next 8 months, Lift Above Poverty Organization (LAPO) will be collecting repayments from this entrepreneur and posting progress updates on the Kiva website.

If you are interested and have been browsing the different business that Kiva is supporting, and think that there is a particular business that we should help out in May please let me know by posting a link in the comments.
