Berea Rotary makes three more KIVA loans
 
Kiva Chair Matt Lombardi reports that he made three Kiva loans, bringing our total to 842 loans with a value of $21,100. Matt says activity has been really low with COVID affecting entrepreneurs around the world. The number of countries we are able to make loans to have been limited and those countries have the greatest risk for currency exchange loss. Since we are running low on capital investment, Matt says he has been very selective with loans.
The most recent loans were made to Paraguay, Nicaragua and Vanuatu (a new country never before offered for Kiva loans). The loans were made for general store supply capital (2) and food production supply capital (1).
