Can I Convince You ?

Not that i don't need you, but this time it's more . 

Since i got the good news that there is no tumor. And as it's great news, i want to do something good for "someone". The problem is that the good i intended to do for "someone" is not available for me :(  . Thanks to the stupidity of my bank. 

So since i can not do it, i thought if i can convince you lovely people to do something good for "someone" then i did something good . Cheating, right? :) 

I like this site because what you can do is so simple and it takes just minutes to do it, but oh how much you have helped. 

The site is called  Kiva  

The site is simple and about "loans that changes lives". 

See, they are loans .

it's about normal people all around the world, who have projects they need to finance. 

"someone" who might be you or me, or we know :) 

That's what the site says 

Kiva's mission is to connect people, through lending, for the sake of alleviating poverty.

Kiva was born of the following beliefs:Kiva empowers individuals to lend to an entrepreneur across the globe. By combining microfinance with the internet, Kiva is creating a global community of people connected through lending.

• People are by nature generous, and will help others if given the opportunity to do so in a transparent, accountable way.
• The poor are highly motivated and can be very successful when given an opportunity.
• By connecting people we can create relationships beyond financial transactions, and build a global community expressing support and encouragement of one another.

Kiva promotes:

• Dignity: Kiva encourages partnership relationships as opposed to benefactor relationships. Partnership relationships are characterized by mutual dignity and respect.
• Accountability: Loans encourage more accountability than donations where repayment is not expected.
• Transparency: The Kiva website is an open platform where communication can flow freely around the world.

As of November 2009, Kiva has facilitated over $100 million in loans

you can loan individually or join a team which you can find on the community section .

It's simple, you just register, they send you an email with a verification link and then you are one of the lenders. 

You can choose the kind of people you want to lend, men or women and the sector you are interested in. You choose the one and the project or ask the site to choose for you. 

There are different kind of the amount of money you can give, but the bottom is 25 dollar. That's almost 100 Saudi Riyal . There is another charge that's called ( Donation to Kiva's Operation Costs) but it's completely optional, so you can edit it to zero . 

Can you please help "someone" ? 

Who knows you might join it one day and someone nice will help you or maybe you wont join but karma will hit you greatly :D 

why can't i do it? , i actually did it once but since all the paying are through "paypal" and my stupid bank doesn't accept that, as they told me"our sharia board doesn't accept that company" , really? interests are ok but a company that can help us give loans aren't !! . 

The other problems is that the site works only with paypal :( 

And btw, the loans do come back, 3 dollar have been returned right now to my account and i can use them again to give loan to "someone" else. 

Don't we all waste 25 dollars on shoes, bags, clothes, books ....etc that we can get rid of in seconds ?? 

But that loan wont be get rid of, it's not a waste of money , it's going to help "someone" , "someone" who can be me and you one day. 

please please help. It's never too late or too early or not the time,

 it's the right amazing time for someone, 

another lovely human being.
