On May 19, 2008 I contributed towards the loan request from Ilgar Quliyev along with 36 other Kiva lenders. Ilgar has a shop and he has borrowed money to increase the inventory. He supports his wife and their 2 children. The loan amount is $1,200 and duration is 18 months.
This also marks a change in the way I select loans. This is first loan I selected by using the ‘amount left’ methodology. Well, no rocket science! I sort the loans by least amount left first & then select a loan from among the top 10 listings. In fact, in this particular case I was the last person to make a contribution.
