  12. CW: Using money for good

    I've been making #microloans—small contributions, slowly paid back and reinvested—through #Kiva for many, many years.

    Over the years a small loan of $25+, reinvested again and again, can make a huge difference.

    Over 13 years, Kiva has allowed me to support 55 people/groups throughout the world with a total of nearly $1,500!

    Just kun opin tykkäämään #Fedora'sta ja #Gnome #Shell'istä, nää suunnittelee opt-out menetelmällä keräävänsä dataa. #EiNäin.

    Tässä on vielä pari versiota edessä, suunniteltu #F40 julkasuun, joten voipi olla että palailen taas tasaisen tylsän ja toimivan #LinuxMint'in pariin. 😃

  22. Do you use #kiva, or have you used it?

    I'd love to hear your experience.

    If you want to start, you can do it for just $25!

  24. In #kiva you can choose the countries you prefer to loan to.

    I tend to avoid loans in the US (but that's a personal preference of course) and I look for loans in countries where I haven't lent to yet. 9% of my loans were in Kenya.

    You can also choose the sectors you prefer to support. Attached a breakdown of my portfolio

    85% of my loans were to women.

    I've loaned to several beauty salons, but not to any bookstore yet!

  26. In #kiva you don't earn any interest on the loan. The best thing that can happen is that it's returned.

    However, some times you lose money:
    - A little, due to the currency rates changing (less than 1% of the total lent)
    - A bit more, due to lack of repayments (defaults). In my portfolio, around 3%

    Some other money is late on repayments, around 8% of the total.

    However, THIS IS FINE. Some loans are done to very difficult regions in the world, in crisis, after disasters. It's normal.

  30. KIVA is crowdfunding for microcredits. I've been using it since november 2007, that's more than 18 years!

    Here are some stats about how I use it:
    - I've contributed to 1305 loans, usually $25 to each.
    - I have around $3k in the system, but as they have been relended several times, I've lended for a total value of $33k
    - I have contributed to loans in 79 different countries
