Nguyen Thi Song


I've just loaned a little money to this lady to enable her to expand her waste recycling business in Vietnam. I spent some time in Vietnam, so it was fun to make my first micro credit loan to a place I remember so well. I have always imbraced the micro credit concept; lending small amounts of money to small businesses in the developing world. Now through the internet you can actually see to whom you are lending the money. Ms. Song plans to expand her factory that produces jute bags and plastic beads from recycled material. So I wish her well. I went through kiva.org.
