Thanks to everyones support we are happy to announce a new Kiva entrepreneur sponsored in part by The Spilling Buckets Blog.

Mr. Juárez is seeking a loan to purchase two oxen to enhance his livelihood of raising livestock and farming. He will be repaying the loan over the next 12 months.

Full translated description: In the municipality of El Viejo in the city of Chinandega, Luis Humberto Juárez has been farming and raising livestock for a number of years. Importantly, this activity has been the pillar that has supported his family. Now, he is asking Ceprodel (the local Kiva field partner) for a loan in order to buy a pair of oxen to maximize his profits and continue to support his home by way of his livestock, which are the source of his income.

We are also excited to now be part of team bloggers on Kiva, a group of bloggers and readers who support entrepreneurship through microlending. Check it out here. There are currently 165 of members who have lent over $29,900 through 1,131 loans.

Currently in repayment:

• Mr. Kodjo Komedja (Kiva page)
• Mrs. Nguyen Thi Lan (our post) (Kiva page)
• Mr. Isaac Nartey (our post) (Kiva Page)

Our thoughts about micro lending and how this all started:
