I really love the concept of micro-lending. It allows me to help a fellow entrepreneur support her business and her family at a level that matches my ability to give. My first loan was to Teresa Quispe in Bolivia in August. It was so easy, thanks to Kiva.org, that I intend to make it a monthly habit.

So, September’s loan is to Haidarova Hosiat in Gafurov, Khujand in Tajikistan. She is a widow and a mother of 5 children. Here she is at her booth, where she sells clothes and shoes. She asked for a loan to purchase a new selection of winter clothes for the changing season.

Do good, feel good!
