Kumusha Power's loan is over halfway there on Kiva! -- Help purchase solar home systems that will be financed for more than a thousand households in Zimbabwe.

Just saw a Kiva loan request come across my feed, so I looked into it. Long article linked.
TL;DR: Kiva started out as a great idea, but has shifted to distinctly for profit. Lenders are not actually giving money to the loan request, but to a pool of money distributed by a mega Corp. Borrowers are charged up to 8% interest. The CEO is making six figures.
Shady and misleading. Very disappointing.

I'm a soft-hearted nerd and for years I've made #Kiva #microloans whenever I've had one repaid.
I'm poor so that $25 has to work its way back for me, but so far I've supported people (often self-employed) in 11 countries.
Today I added Colombia to that list, bumping it up to 12: and this time it's about #solarpower! ☀️

(I'm aware Kiva isn't perfect, but few things are.)

Ukrainians took over 40 billion in microloans last year. The number of microloans increased by 1.5 times compared to the previous year, reaching 8,244,855 contracts with an average loan amount of 4,926 UAH. Experts note that despite the growth, the total loan amount is still one-third less than before the full-scale war. #Ukraine #Microloans

I just invested in Talf Solar to increase its solar installation in Bhārat (India) via a €100 microloan on Trine using repayments from other loans supporting electrification in Nigeria.

India’s 'untouchable' women face discrimination even in schemes meant to help them
All these rejections contravened the Reserve Bank of India’s guidance that Dalit application be decided at a higher level – presumably to avoid the discrimination at the branch level.

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!
