Based on the last two posts I did on Kiva.org I was able to discover there are a number of Steemians on Kiva and there is already a Steemit Team there.
I definately plan to sign up there next week and start to lend through the Steemit Team on Kiva. Well at least for the new loans that I do on Kiva.
@oleg326756 is there
so is @stephen-somers
so is @cheerfulgiver
I recommend you check out that blog which is dedicated to lending on Kiva.org
I still have one or two more aspects of kiva.org to cover before moving on.
The first couple of posts have started to pay out and I wan't to demonstrate the actual lending process using the SBD raised from these posts and start supporting some micro, small, and medium enterprises (the sme's)
Just finished reading this and your previous articles. Then I went to Kiva and dove into the details. This is very discouraging. I have been lending thru Kiva for over 10 years. I had assumed we were helping the poorest of the poor. But when I look at the interest rates, I was shocked. OK, this is my fault for not reading all the fine print, but still... These borrowers must be good people because I've had only 1 loan defaulted in that whole time. But still, someone is making a profit off my money and these folks. I will follow you to get more info, especially the direct loans. Do you know if there is a shortcut on Kiva to find the best Field Partners?

You can filter loans by partner attributes by various criteria on the left hand side of the main lend page.
Using this I found this nice loan

Ok thx. I did a quick search and most of the loans that come up have N/A for average cost to borrower. I guess I need to play with it a little longer to figure it out.
