I LOVE it. I have one delinquent loan--I think it's Kenya? One of the countries in Africa had almost everyone stop payment on their loans because of the civil war. I don't mind at all. That sounds like a very good reason to lose the loan (I just wish Kiva would write off the loan--it's been unpaid for over a year and I'd rather just forgive it than keep being reminded. But I guess they hope that things will get better and back on track eventually). I've had dozens of loans and all have been paid back on time or early otherwise. I’ve been using Kiva for years.

I have one that is delinquent right now - I'm rooting for her to get back on track but otherwise have found it to be a fabulous experience! My father thinks Kiva is so great that he has a note at the bottom of his e-mails encouraging people to check it out. I’ve loaned to Kiva for three or four years now. 30 loans from my original $275.

I haven't added money for a while but just keep re-loaning out the same amount. My original $25 has probably helped 5 or 6 people now! I think it's really great.

I've gradually added money from month to month to the point where I'm pretty much recycling the money received each month into another loan. So far my stats have been pretty good. I've had a few loans be delinquent, but out of 30 none have defaulted. You don't make any money with Kiva. You just help people get started. I’ve been active on Kiva for quite a while.
