As some of you may already know, last year NikeTalk allocated $6,820 to Kiva.org, a non-profit organization that helps facilitate loans to entrepreneurs indeveloping nations.
We've issued five loans thus far and you can check their repayment progress on our Kiva lender page: www.kiva.org/lender/NikeTalk
Our first loan recipients, the Kewerimidde Women's group have completely repaid their loan. As aresult, we now have $2,000 in our community's Kiva.org account ready to be loaned to a new group of entrepreneurs.
In the past, we've selected loan recipients through a two step process: first, we invite our fellow members to browse kiva.org and nominate their favoriteentrepreneurs, then we vote as a community and complete the loan receiving the most votes.
Due to sharp increases in traffic and lender activity, we've been unable to issue loans using this method. Thanks to thousands of registered Kiva users,loans are being filled faster than ever before. As a result, we've been forced to expedite the process. Below, you'll find a series of five loans tochoose from - each one representing a different country.
Simply visit the loan profile page for each one, vote for your favorite, and on Monday, after the polls have closed, we'll complete the loan up to $2,000.
If you'd like to support the loans that did not receive the most votes - or any of the loans facilitated by Kiva - please consider registering. You caneven join NikeTalk's lendingteam and have your loans counted towards our community totals on Kiva's leaderboards. Help us pass Nepal and Teachers for Change!
Here's our list of nominees:
