COLOR & Tailor Contributes to KIVA Group! Truly help someone by infusing capital into the lives of entrepreneurs from around the World...

We like the fact that a small "loan" can be used by others around the world to build their dream and work hard towards a goal. Many times all that is needed is capital. For over 2 years every single loan we have given has been paid back, and those people around the world have accomplished growing their business. Check out Kiva.org
Here is this month's group:

Mwadji Mpunga is president of the Tuongozane credit loan group (she is seen raising her hand on the picture). She is in her 13th credit loan cycle, is 50 years old and the mother of eight children, of whom three study in an auto mechanics training centre, two in the standard school system, two stay in the village and work in the fields, and one does not attend school. Her husband runs a small business.

She began her own business with funds received from her husband. With this starting capital she purchased a container of palm oil worth $12.

Her business is retailing palm oil at the central market in Virunga, which she has done for the past eight years. With the loan from the Hekima MFI Mwadji Mpunga wants to increase her turnover by purchasing 24 containers of palm oil and 30 pairs of plastic sandals. She also sells plastic sandals locally called “bodaboda” or “soza” to increase her income.

For the future, she plans to change activities and go into general commerce, getting her supplies from Kampala in Uganda. Eventually, she wants to build a comfortable home.

Mwadji Mpunga thanks the Hekima MFI for the loans she has received although she had no collateral, because they enabled her to meet her children’s needs. What’s more, she was separated for quite some time from her children due to the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and the Hekima loans allowed her to pay for her children’s plane fare from Buyimayi to Goma.

This month of February 2010, we decided to make a small loan through KIVA.org to the following group.

Mrs. Sam Ann Yem is the village bank president selected by the members, who all use the loan for different purposes. She is a grocer in the local village and her husband, Mr. Vey Phan, is a farmer who owns a small piece of land where he cultivates rice to support his family. In order to improve their living conditions, Mrs. Sam Ann Yem decided to ask for a loan to start a new business buying more rice to resell because it can generate a high income. Mrs. Sam Ann Yem is the mother of four children, two of whom work in a massage shop, while the other two are enrolled in the local public school.
We encourage you to loan to entrepreneurs around the world through KIVA.org!

Kiva loan for the month of January

Lay Eang, 48, lives in Pursat Province. She earns a living growing rice. Her husband, Eang Khom (shown in the photograph), raises oxen for sale and for use in his wife's business. The couple has nine children; five of them are single and four are married. Two of the children help Lay Eang and her husband in the farming business. To expand the business and earn additional income, Lay Eang would like to request a loan for her husband to purchase additional oxen to raise and then re-sell, as well as to buy a cow-cart.

KIVA.ORG does great job at helping people around the world begin their business ventures...

This village bank, which consists of thirteen people, is located in Chrok Romeat village in Kampong Chhnang Province. Mrs. Mai Yum Sren is the village bank president. She is a 27-year-old mother of two children; one attends the local school and the younger one is too young to work or study. She sells clothes in the local market. Her husband, Mr. Mat Pleu, is a blacksmith. Since her business is going well, she wants to expand it. So she decided to ask for a loan to purchase more fashionable clothes to sell to her customers.
