Business Profile #1 & Loan Request

Business Profile #1

My name is Marie M. I thank the founder of MicroCreditCapital for thinking about us, small business entrepreneurs in Haiti. I have been running my small shop for five years now. I sell mostly clothing, fresh produce and other seasonal items that my customers like. My store is located near a major road in the community's major market. So I have the opportunity to sell to a large group of people. The only problem I have is that my inventory is too small. I would like to expand the business and have more items for sale. I would like to borrow $400.00. I have had lots of experience selling in the community. After completing my studies, I spent three years studying accounting. Since my graduation from accounting school, I have been running this small shop. Any infusion of new funds would greatly help my business. Any profits I make from the small business will help me take care of my parents who are getting old and the children of a family member who died a few years ago.

What About Kiva.org? What's Hot about MicroCreditCapital Funding?

Kiva is the first microlending Web site designed to provide individuals with the ability to connect with and make personal loans to small businesses in developing countries. Founded in 2004 by Matthew and Jessica Flannery, Kiva's goal is to reduce poverty in developing countries by giving entrepreneurs the ability to build their businesses through flexible loans with six-to 12-month terms. Kiva allows individuals to act as a "micro VC" by loaning directly to entrepreneurs with feasible business plans. Kiva is headquartered in Palo Alto, CA. For more information about Kiva, please visit www.kiva.org.

Kiva.org is back running: Kiva is up and Invites lenders

After the stories and reports from Frontline/PBS, the site's servers went down. Its engineers and volunteers worked many hours to fix the problems. In the meantime, the whole country found out about the type of social works that the SF-based company is doing. They received an outpouring of support and pledges. At one point, requests were made to help Kiva.org buy some new servers to support the traffic.

Everyone is happy that the site is up. Many new people have signed up since then. But the site is not what it used to be. The engineers continue to work hard to get all the bells and whistles right. Registrations for lenders are open.

This is a great case of social entrepreneurship that most Americans will support. Help somebody across the world and get your money back after all is done!

MicroCredit Buzz #1: What's Going on at Kiva.org? Is PBS/Frontline the Cause?

"Kiva.org did not not stand a chance." That is what the San Francisco-based company formed by a couple and a Ugandan field partner had to put up with. Actually, the owners and all the microlenders who use the site to connect with poor people of the world are happy with this recognition. Maybe they did not expect the story by Frontline/World to cause a stampede to Kiva.org in search of information. Since last Tuesday, the servers running Kiva.org have been out. When the listeners go to the site in search of information, all they found was a page telling them about the PBS report. Kiva.org has received lots of support in the past few days. Some of the listeners wrote feedback or reacted to the story by saying that they want to be part of this enterprise. Listeners from the US and Europe want to use Kiva.org software to reach out to the poor who are seen as non-credit-worthy by major banking institutions. They want to loan small amount of money to women who are in far-flung countries such as the Sub-saharan ones, Uganda and others.

Technology has played a huge role in our lives these days. Young entrepreneurs, IT staff, computer engineers working at posh jobs in the Silicon Valley want their technology to make it easy for poor people to benefit even if it's in small amounts. They want to find something to connect to people. They want to be part of the solution. Establishing Direct contacts with the beneficiaries of their loans seems to be the way of the future.

This is the business that MicroCreditCapital Funding is in. MCC Funding wants to help people in Haiti and elsewhere to develop their own small businesses. MCC Funding's Field Partners will vet and approve the businesses that are going to be posted on this site. Only then will they be able to receive a small loan. Two recipients out of a group of five will make sure to succeed so that the others can receive their loans too. Peer pressure and community responsibility will cause them to make good use of the money they receive.
