My 531st Kiva loan

Kiva and Microfinance

To Julius Ireri, a 34-year-old cobbler in Nairobi. He's supporting two kids by selling shoes, laces, and miscellaneous repairs, and he needed 20,000 Kenyan shillings ($275 American) to buy stock.

Someday, Julius hopes to own a shoemaking company that will pay for his kids' education.

Hell yes, I chipped in $25. Wouldn't you?

Scoreboard so far: 531 loans, and so far I haven't lost a single dollar.
