Becoming a Kiva donor
I’ve meant to become a Kiva donor for a while now, but just got around to it this week. One of the things they ask, as part of the profile that donors set up, is why we donate. When I thought about what drew me to this project, it’s because I grew up poor, and then spent so many years living somewhere around the poverty line that now, I’m motivated to help people who are in poverty conditions, and are ambitious enough to better their situations for themselves and their families.
