One of my 43Things was to not procrastinate.  Having some funds sitting in my Kiva account now for a few days I decided that I should should re-loan that money out.  Natalya’s profile quickly caught my eye, and the more I read the more confident I became in thinking that here’s a person that’s on the cusp of going from barely surviving to earning a comfortable living. 

Natalya had a good business sense about her, being very aware of seasonal market conditions and focusing on a narrow demographic in children’s clothing. 

Being married and having just one child leave her in a position where she, with help from her husband can manage their time in such a way to handle their business and personal lives.

This is my second Kiva loan, and my experience has been absolutely positive.  If you can afford to lend out as little as $25, I strongly encourage you to do so.  When the load is paid back you have the option of having it returned to you, donate it to Kiva or re-loan it to another business.
