Firstly due to poor personal admin I've lost access to my previous forum account .... so what better way to start my new one off than another landmark KIVA update.P2P lenders, incredibly, have now soared past $15k lent to worldwide causes. I recall when I'd have been apprehensive to target $1.5k
A collective pat on the back to the now 48 members who have contributed to this incredible total.
Thankyou everyone on behalf of Rosemary in Kenya who farms maize, Jeanette who distributes water in Rwanda, Edita who sells small livestock in Columbia and the 578 other people who we've helped to achieve the lives they want for themselves and their families. As our number edges towards 50 it would be fantastic if anyone else is interested in joining our community - www.kiva.org/invitedto/p2p_lenders/by/jester

That really is good. I was a bit taken aback when I first got involved, then researched and found that all the time I spent researching and selecting my recipients didn't necessarily mean that those people is directly who my donation went to. But I'm content that my (admittedly small, compared to many others on here) donations are going to worthy causes.

It's International Women's Day and as in previous years KIVA are doubling the impact of loans! "Generous supporters have stepped in to offer our biggest one-day match ever for this holiday, they've pledged $1.5 million to invest in women!""This match offer ends at midnight and funds will run out, so don't wait to make this International Women's Day count!"P2P Lenders Team have now lent in excess of $16k - www.kiva.org/invitedto/p2p_lenders/by/jester
