This is a great video that a Kiva volunteer made to document the path that a $25 microfinance loan made in London took to reach a rice farmer in Cambodia. The $25 loan is paid back in 12 monthly installments of $2.08, and one of the repayments is captured in the video. It’s awesome to see the connection between the people in London who made the loan, the Kiva employees in SF who brokers the loan, the microfinance institution in Cambodia who processes the loan, and the farmer who receives it. Yay Kiva! Our next Amazon check should go towards a microloan!
