September 20, 2007: Finding businesses to invest in on Kiva!

 

  So I am starting to look through the businesses on the Kiva.org web-site.  There are a lot of them to go through!  I have found a couple though.


 My first business!!!!!!  In Kirkuk, Iraq.


Kirkuk is above Baghdad on the map.

Name: Identity Protected
Location: Kirkuk, Iraq
Business Name: Shop
Activity: General Store
Loan Requested: $1,200.00
Repayment Term: 12 months – repaid monthly
Loan Use: To purchase new ice box and more goods

The entrepreneur is 28 years old. He has 3 children, and two of them are in school. He has a general store in Kirkuk. He applied to borrow $1200 to purchase a new ice box and more goods for the shop to increase his income and save for a better life for his family.

Disclaimer: This entrepreneur is from a volatile region where the security situation remains unsettled. Lenders to this business should be aware that this loan may represent a higher risk and accept this additional risk in making their loan.

Note: Personally identifiable attributes of this entrepreneur have been altered to protect him or her (i.e. blacking out portions of the entrepreneur in his/her picture, altering his/her first or last name, etc.).

About the Entrepreneur

Name: ANADELI CASTELLANOS GONZALEZ
Location: OCOSINGO, Mexico
Business Name: ANADELI CASTELLANOS GONZALEZ
Activity: Food Production/Sales
Loan Requested: $950.00
Repayment Term: 7 months – repaid monthly
Loan Use: Sale of food typical to the region

Anadeli is 23 years old and has one child. In order to help her spouse out with the household costs, Anadeli sells clothes and prepares food typical to her region. She sells these items out of her mother-in-law’s house who also helps her with these sales. Anadeli belongs to the group Compañerismo 5 together with Ms. Pascuala Lopez Perez (who sells food) and Maria Luisa Caballero Silva (who also sells food). With this loan they hope to implement their businesses buying utensils for the kitchen and improve the condition of the places where they sell their food.
