Time for another Kiva update!
Most of our current loans are doing really well, which we love to see! Amor y Paz, a group that runs an upholstery and furniture making shop, is 90% repaid. All of the rest of the loans are between 40% and 62% repaid, which is wonderful. Sadly, one of our loans is delinquent in his repayments, but hopefully he can make his business work despite whatever challenges he's facing.
Since most of our loans are doing so well we've got credit to relend. We chose to lend to Rasheeda, a woman in Pakistan, who is seeking a loan to a buy a young horse for loading and transportation services. A mover in Pakistan, we love it! We also lent to Tony, a school bus driver in Lebanon, so he can make improvements to his bus and Manuela, a furniture maker in Peru, so she can buy supplies.
In more local news, we're a booster for the Friends of Cambridge Athletics race that's coming up on April 1st. Its held at Fresh Pond and raise money for student athletes. There's still time to sign up for either the run or the walk if you're interested.
