A new loan for the festive season
It’s been a little while since I started a new Kiva loan. The last loan to Janet in Samoa was paid back a while ago and the credit has been sitting there waiting for me to get organised..
Since I last made a loan the Etsy Lending Team has got more active and there’s a number of regular lenders boosting up our lending numbers. We’ve just hit $4000 in loans! Are you an etsy seller and a kiva lender? Come join the team 
My latest loan was a little hard to find. I’ve noticed there’s a lot less makers on Kiva and a definite increase in people selling cheap mass produced products. This makes me quite sad to be honest. I thought Kiva was about reducing the need for sweatshop economies..
Regardless, I did find the Morales family in Barranquilla, Colombia. They make and sell a range of things to help their family prosper including hand made shoes, jewelry and clothing.
So give them a wave people, and wish them luck!
And for those of you out there still looking for last minute christmas ideas, consider a kiva gift voucher! It’s a great last minute gift idea and the recipient gets to chose the person(s) to lend to. Go on, make a difference!
Happy festive season everyone and see you in the next decade.
