LimeLife Loves Kiva
Satisfy Your Need for Gossip and Do Some Good
Have you heard about Kiva? LimeLife recently hopped on board to give back to individuals through micro-loans. . . and you can be a part of our initiative to help women in need!
LimeLife might be about celebs, gossip, fashion, and lifestyle entertainment, but behind that, we're real people. Our CEO, Kristin McDonnell, personally went onto Kiva's website to look for someone who needed our help.
That person was Adeyemi Marian of Lagos State, Nigeria, who sells women's purses, shoes, and cosmetics along with drinks and provisions. In business for nine years and a LAPO microfinance member for three, she needed to expand her business and purchase more stock for her shop. McDonnell says that Marian's needs spoke to her, and LimeLife joined a group of motivated lenders who donated $1,025 to help her achieve her dreams.
To keep things in perspective, an annual income in Nigeria is estimated at $1,188, and this loan means great things for Marian and her future. We're proud to join Kiva and help make a contribution for the good of the world, and we're not stopping here! We'll be making a donation every three months, and we want our fans to help us decide whose loan to contribute to the next time around.
