I want to recruit you to my lending team, Goodlife ZEN, on Kiva, a non-profit website that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur in the developing world. You choose who to lend to – whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a group of villagers in Iraq – and as they repay the loan, you get your money back.
If you join my lending team, we can work together to alleviate poverty. Once you’re a part of the team, you can choose to have a future loan on Kiva “count” towards our team’s impact. The loan is still yours, and repayments still come to you – but you can also choose to have the loan show up in our team’s collective portfolio, so our team’s overall impact will grow!
If you want to join the Goodlife Zen lending group, here are seven simple steps to follow:
2.Click on COMMUNITY in the navigation bar. Look for the box that says: ‘Search for a lending team’ and put “Goodlife Zen” into the searchbox. Scroll down and push the “JOIN TEAM’ button.
3. Click on LEND in the navigation bar. Choose a group or person you would like to lend to. Click on “Lend $25″ under the description.
4. Click: “Loan added! Checkout” (This line appears when you click on “Lend $25″)
5. On the ‘My Basket’ page. In the upper right hand part it says: “Count towards team:” put “Goodlife Zen” in the box below.
6. Then click on ‘CONTINUE’ and you’ll be taken to the secure payment page.
7. Enjoy helping those who want to help themselves!
