Kiva Part 2

Setting up a Kiva account is really easy. Once you get to Kiva.org, there is a little bar in the top right hand corner that says, "Gifts. Register. My Basket". Click the register button. Then it will ask you for all of your personal information: Name, email, password, etc. From there, you'll have to put money into your account. Once you have an account with money in it, you can then lend your money to any of the borrowers listed.

I tend to choose my borrowers because of things I like to do, or that I'm interested in. Many of my recipients are women, and I have only lent to people who are trying to start businesses. Many of my loans have been to women trying to make salon businesses, because that's something I enjoy. You can also choose by country, which I have done as well. You will see that there are thousands of recipients to choose from, therefore making it hard to believe you will not find something you're interested in.

I really like Kiva because it's nice to know that I'm helping someone start, what will hopefully be, a long time business for them. I'm very glad that my dad told me to look into Kiva and helped get me started.

I definitely recommend that other people get Kiva accounts as well. It's very easy to use and it helps people that are less fortunate to get their starts.

Thanks for reading!
