My first business investment
I have made my first business investment in the amount of $25.00. I had heard about the organization Kiva and wanted to get involved after doing some research.
Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can "sponsor a business" and help the world's working poor make great strides towards economic independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the business you've sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back.
I am sponsoring Najaf Mamedov a blacksmith from Azerbaijan. Najaf is the resident of Beylagan. He owns a small blacksmith workshop where he makes iron gates, doors etc.
I am very blessed to have been born into such a privileged life full of so much love and opportunity. I believe everyone deserves a chance to build something of their own and I hope that my small involvement makes a difference in the life of one.
