Kiva - helping others via micro-credit

[Perp]

$50K in loans achieved! 2,000 loans in sight

Can you make the 2,000th loan by our team?

Based on current projections, and our progress has been pretty consistent, we should hit 2,500 loans by 31 Dec 12. Bravo!

SS Kiva Team have been busy giving today.... now only 7 more loans to reach Perp's goal of 2000.

Let's try and get there this week! C'mon, we can help make a difference!

I just reloaned to 4 more people this morning- is that in the stats yet? Getting pretty close.
I worked out today that my original deposit has been recycled 5 times now!

 

[Perp]

Yours are included, Joan; we're up to 1,995 now...

Perp.. have a look at the screen shot. I gave three loans about six months back but nothing is counted to this team.

 

[Rooster]

5 more from me.

Cheers

Well, next time make sure when you're checking out that it lists your team underneath your loans.

5 more from me.

Well done, Rooster - bravo!

Hi Perp. I wonder if you can tell if the two loans I made this morning show up in our figures. I will check next time but I didn't notice anything about our group when checking out (but I wasn't looking for it either - I assumed it would link up).

Yes, they did, and thank you.

Yes.. did that this time

Congratulations on reaching your target. You are doing an amazing work by organising all these.

4 more from me(up to 18 total, almost recycled the initial 10 back through). The total is at 2011 now.

Well done all.

Just having a look and I am amazed that team somersoft has written loans to the tune of $56,925.

I have only added $350 to this amount so some of you must really be pumping in the money and recycling the loans.

Well done everybody.

Cheers

PS I was actually looking to source some loans for Bangladesh women after watching a documentary on child bride problems but it appears that Kiva has no presence.

I've just done my first loan - money for a cow.
What a great idea.

Are the loan amounts tax deductible like other charitable donations in Australia?

It shouldn't be as it's not a donation it's a loan

 

[china]

It shouldn't be as it's not a donation it's a loan

ok is it deductible as a business expense? Making loans is a legitimate business or if a business makes the loan using its business name e.g. MacDonalds - then can it not be tax deductible as an advertising expense?

Doesn't sound like kiva is for you....

Do you get the feeling that African women are better with money than men?!?
