Here is one of our most recent loans:

A portion of the Vietnamese Thanh Yen 152 Group's $1,550 loan helps a member to buy agricultural products to sell. Chung is a Thai ethnic minority woman in a remote northwestern border area of Vietnam. She takes care of the other seven members in her family. Like other villagers, Chung cultivates rice and raises chickens to earn income for living costs. In order to have a better life, Chung decided to buy some more agricultural products like corn, cassava, and potatoes to sell at the market. This business brings good profits for her, so she wants to expand but lacks capital. Therefore, she took this loan to fulfill her purpose. The profits from this investment will be used to invest in the next business activities, and a portion of the profits will cover living expenses. Chung shares that she thanks Kiva lenders for this opportunity to escape poverty.
