Welcome to the first round of voting for the 2009 Kiva Calendar. There are 27 concurrent polls (one for each country) – remember to vote in each one.
You have up to 3 votes in this poll, nominally for: Female individual; Male individual; Female group.
Below are links to each entrepreneurs' profile and a thumbnail (which in turn is linked to the full-sized image – be warned some are a couple of MB or more)
The winners of each country will then go through to the next round of voting*. (Results will be available after the poll has ended).
*I am currently reserving the right that if there is a tie I will have the casting vote (I will not have voted in the poll, however tempting it might be).
Where possible the casting vote will be used to ensure:
- a balance of male and female entrepreneurs (as to the Kiva ratio)
- a balance of businesses (farming, shops, repairs, food, markets etc).
