Our KIVA Loan - Flor De Pera Group
Our KIVA loan to Flor De Pera Group has gone through, and the group is now fully funded... we will check back later to see how things develop, and the repayment schedule. You are welcome to donate more money at any time, and we can perhaps choose another person/group to support.

The members of this Communal Bank engage in various businesses such as producing fruit, producing vegetables, selling fruit, and selling vegetables." - Translated from Spanish by Kiva Volunteer Ronan Reodica (KIVA.org)
