Kiva LetsYou Loan to the Working Poor

Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.

Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world.

The people you see on Kiva's site are real individuals in need of funding - not marketing material. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get your loan money back, you can relend to someone else in need.

Kiva partners with existing expert microfinance institutions. In doing so, we gain access to outstanding entrepreneurs from impoverished communities world-wide. Our partners are experts in choosing qualified entrepreneurs. That said, they are usually short on funds. Through Kiva, our partners upload their entrepreneur profiles directly to the site so you can lend to them. When you do, not only do you get a unique experience connecting to a specific entreprenuer on the other side of the planet, but our microfinance partners can do more of what they do, more efficiently.

Kiva provides a data-rich, transparent lending platform. We are constantly working to make the system more transparent to show how money flows throughout the entire cycle, and what effect it has on the people and institutions lending it, borrowing it, and managing it along the way. To do this, we are using the power of the internet to facilitate one-to-one connections that were previously prohibitively expensive. Child sponsorship has always been a high overhead business. Kiva creates a similar interpersonal connection at much lower costs due to the instant, inexpensive nature of internet delivery. The individuals featured on our website are real people who need a loan and are waiting for socially-minded individuals like you to lend them money.

When the bottom falls out

Yesterday was an extremely busy day everything that could;d go wrong did.I had to meet 3 officers for a party at a very exclusive country club in bentwood and only showed. 2 were lost and I managed to give one directions and he finally showed after 2 hrs. The other said f it and went home, so I had to go to Manchester and Normandy in LA. to pick another officer up to work this event. Bullets are flying and so are the cops and ambulances. I finally got that all smoothed out and was off to go close down what was supposed to be a small b-day party at one of our gated community's in Valencia and there were 200 under age kids drinking and blasting music in the pool area. They were charging admission and people were still arriving. I had to call Santa Clarita Sheriff's
to get this one handled and was assaulted by a smoking hott female. Lets just say she put her hands on me inappropriately With the vice president of the HOA board standing next to me. I didn't arrest her but sure did want to. I wont tell you where my mind went use your own imagination. She was buzzed and if i had arrested her the crowd would have got worse. I finally got every one out and then the sheriff's arrived lol. I was supposed to meet up with a friend for dinner at midnight and was going to make it till my work phone went ding a ling a ling :( Its 15 to 12 and I'm back in Burbank and an officer was locked out of an account in beach area of Santa Monica. I finally got back and done by 1:30 am hadn't eaten dinner so pops and I went to Coral and ate.
I earned my money this day.
