How To Help A Person Life Be Better

          A few days ago my teacher talked about this website called Kiva.org and I’m going to tell you some things about it. First of all this website is for people who need money for important things and they don’t have enough money for it. There are over hundreds stories of people looking for loans to grow business or switch to clean energy, and even go to school. This website you can make a loan to the borrower of your choice and you get repaid by that person. You can even repeat what you did and when you get your money back you can look for another person and give the same money and loan that money to them. This website in my opinion is a great website. They do pay you back and you can see how long it would take also.

            While I was on this Website I found a woman named Jeannette. She is forty-six years old, a mother to five children, and married. She has three girls and two boys. Jeannette has been selling clothing, shoes and bags for a while. She has been doing that for more than twenty years with some help, they all work as retailers. This group is here to help support the members and to provide a system of peer pressure.  Once Jeannette gets the money she will use her loan to by many bags, a large amount of clothing, and five boxes of shoes. When she gets the money her profits will help her to provide for day to day expresses, healthcare and schooling for her children. She lives in Senegal it is the westernmost point in Africa. This country is slightly smaller the South Dakota and it is mainly low-lying country, with a semideseart area in the north and northeast and forests in the southwest.

              Another person I have found is Eugenia. She is forty-three years old and is a single mother. She lives with her daughter Maritza and her granddaughter Britani. Britani is five years old and is going to the local public school where they live. Eugenia needs this money because she needs to expand her business and make more money in order to cover her household’s basic needs. Her business is at a small stall at a town market, where she sells food like fruit and vegetables. She has been doing this for over twenty-six years because this is her only source of income. Eugenia lives in Tulsan, Ecuador which in this region generally lacks access to financial services. This loan is made to help these vulnerable populations improve their lives and set up sustainable businesses.

               Now that I saw these people I see how the world can be so difficult for people and how their lives in where they live can be tough to live there. I think this website is the best for those people and I bet they feel the same way about this website like I do. Without this website or any other website like this their live would be more difficult for them. So I will definitely loan money to these people and more to help them out because if I was in their shoes I know I hope people would make loans.
