This is Kahnu. A $325 loan helped him buy bamboo in bulk to make baskets. Now he doesn't have to worry about supporting his family and can send his 5 kids to school.
Microlending really does break the cycle of poverty. I love investing in very hardworking entrepreneurs in the USA and across the globe!
For the Advent and Christmas season, the best thing I can do is to help others like Kahnu.
