Kiva Detroit = small business loans

[skyl4rk]

I have $150 that I keep loaning out as it is repaid. So far I have made 33 loans. I have never lost anything on Kiva. I have lent money to a brewery in Uganda and a bakery in Lebanon. I'm looking forward to lending to Detroit businesses too.

Yes, its the original $75.00. I initially made 3 $25.00 loans from my Kiva account. They each started making repayments, and once I had $25.00 back in the account I lent that out. And so on. If you fund through Kiva, you do not earn interest, so its not done to make money but rather to do some good - but potentially you can get all of your money back as well.
