Top 3 Kiva Loan Candidates

http://www.kiva.org/lend/666208
Nancy is a 43 year old woman from Liberia. She currently runs a business selling cold water and gasoline. However, she only is busy around traditional holidays and Christmas. Nancy is a 6th grade drop out. She's married and is raising their five children which range from age 7 to 14. She is seeking a loan in order to expand the range of items she can sell in the store which will improve income and help her raise her family. I think that Nancy meets the loam criteria because she is raising a family of five children and helping to improve her community by expanding her business.

Jashoda and Dinesh are a married couple from India. Jashoda is illiterate and can only sign her name while Dinesh is an uneducated farmer. Together, they are raising their only son who is currently enrolled in school and reading at a grade 12 level. However, Dinesh's earnings as a farmer are hardly sufficient to cover the essentials without the cost of education expenses for their son. Jashoda is seeking a loan in order to pay for their son to continue to receive his education. I think that Jashoda and Dinesh meet the the loan criteria because everyone deserves to be educated and they want their son to be able to have an education unlike they did.

Vincent is a 40 year old man from Uganda. He is married and has two children who are both enrolled in school. Vincent has been running a drug shop for the past three years, which operates in clinics and sells drugs. Vincent is seeking a loan in order to expand the variety of drugs in which he currently carries in order to meet the need of his community. I think that Vincent meets the loan criteria because many people are going without health care and with Vincent expanding his drug shop, not only will he be meeting the needs of his family and community but also he will be providing his community with health care needs that they may otherwise not be able to have.
