INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS -
KIVA since 2023 Interested members meet 5-6 times each year. a KIVA.com account is maintained. An initial investment of $200 from the Service Project budget allowed 8 loans of $25 each to women entrepreneurs. Since then over 40 loans have been made with the repaid loan money.
This is a unique way for out members to participate in an international project without travel but with input in the loan decisions. A lot is learned in the process. Watch the newsletter for the next meeting.
Cindy Ivy is the liaison for this project. |
