Jorge is divorced and has 3 grown-up children. He lives in 'anticrético' (a rental system particular to Bolivia). He lives together with his two nephews as their parents are abroad and Jorge takes care of them. The house is located in Sopocachi district, in the city of La Paz. Jorge is a systems engineer but he is self employed and works from home, assembling all kinds of computers. He will use his loan to stock up on computer materials and to better furnish his workshop. This is how he makes income for his household. This is Jorge's first loan and the socio-economic analysis we have performed qualifies him favorably for a loan. |

Cruz Donald Salgado Arauz - http://www.kiva.org/lend/247186
Quote:
| Cruz Donald is 56 years old. He is a married man and together with his partner he has 5 grown-up children. His business is a bookstore. This is not the first time that he has requested a loan. His previous loans have been a great help to his business. He started his business with his own effort because he didn't have a stable job and he needed to provide his family with their daily food. He is requesting a loan to buy scissors, erasers, paper and pens. Important Information About This Loan In order to help you better understand the potential risks of lending to entrepreneurs in Nicaragua, Kiva continues to provide information on the “No Pago” movement (a movement for non-repayment of loans). The Nicaraguan government appears to have implemented a plan to resolve the uncertainties raised by the previous No Pago 'non-repayment' movement that has affected the country. |

Quote:
| Janarbek Mahsat lives with his wife and daughter in the Bayan-Ulgii province of Mongolia. He and his family live together in a ger, a traditional Mongolian nomadic tent. His wife works as an English teacher for the local school and Janarbek operates a PLAY STATION 2 PC game center in his town. He began his business in 2009 and has built a stable operation. His game center is equipped with the latest equipment and tools, which attracts many customers. His PC game center is the only one to exist in the local community and therefore his income and demand are usually high. In the future he plans to open another branch of his PC game center. Janarbek is an open-minded man with initiative, and he says, "All I want is to establish the best service center in my town in the future." He is requesting a 3,000,000 MNT loan to buy more computers and televisions for his PC game center. |
