As some of you may already know, we at NikeTalk recently allocated $6,820 to Kiva.org, a non-profit organization that helps facilitate loans toentrepreneurs in developing nations.
We've issued three loans thus far and you can check their repayment progress on our Kiva lender page: www.kiva.org/lender/NikeTalk
In the past, we've selected loan recipients through a two step process: first, we invite our fellow members to browse kiva.org and nominate their favoriteentrepreneurs, then we vote as a community and complete the loan receiving the most votes.
Due to sharp increases in traffic and lender activity, we've been unable to issue loans using this method. Thanks to thousands of registered Kiva users,loans are being filled faster than ever before. As a result, we've been forced to expedite the process. Below, you'll find a series of five loans tochoose from - each one representing the loan awaiting the greatest amount of funding at the time of this post from entrepreneurs representing five differentcountries.
Simply visit the loan profile page for each one, vote for your favorite, and on Saturday, after the polls have closed, we'll complete the loan up to ourremaining account balance of $3497.75.
If you'd like to support the loans that did not receive the most votes - or any of the loans facilitated by Kiva - please consider registering. You caneven join NikeTalk's lendingteam and have your loans counted towards our community totals on Kiva's leaderboards. Help us pass Brigham Young University and Vancouver, Canada!
Here's a list of our nominees:
Gift MlakiGroup
Veronica Farel Antezana Group
Saldivar Poty Group
Margaret Batalaze Group
Yot PhonGroup
