Hey Disabled Persons Lending Team. I saw this loan pop up this morning. I have a small amount in my basket that I'll hold for awhile in chat. I have two credits and I'm trying to decide between three loans...
The term is 3 months and is 5 star MFI. Ablonazar is missing his left arm.

I know I'm not a team member, but I thought you guys might be interested in helping to fund Shafika in Lebanon:

Shafika is a very ambitious woman of 39 years who owns a small shop selling candies and other treats in the Southern Lebanese city of Saida. Shafika has requested a $1000 loan to help her pay for an urgent surgical procedure. If there is money left over from the loan, she plans to use it to purchase new inventory for her shop. This will be the third loan Shafika has taken from Al Majmoua. Shafika is very grateful for Kiva and all who give her the chance to have this surgery and improve her business.

Alfredo started the business because his children did not have enough money to continue their studies, and because his wife has leukemia which requires very expensive treatments. These were the reasons why he started making and selling tacos, with the help of his two brother-in-laws. He started three years ago with their help, as they also needed money for their educations, on a corner near his home. As time passed, his regular customers starting asking for tortas and little by little they began getting ahead.

He needs a loan of $400 USD, which he will repay in six months, in order to make his business grow. He plans to modify his cart so he can provide a better level of service to his customers and increase his profits, so he can continue getting ahead along with his wife and children.

6 months loan from Admic Nacional, Mexico (5 stars)
325 $ left now to fund

Modesto is an older man. Because of health problems, he cannot do his work as a farmer. Nevertheless, he managed to establish a business within his community. Owing to the large demand for food establishments, he set up a small restaurant, a meeting spot for various inhabitants who are grateful to Mr. Modesto for the business, which serves to strengthen bonds of friendship and camaraderie among the neighbors. Now Mr. Modesto wants his business to be more welcoming and for this he wants to adapt it so that people can sit comfortably and feel at home with the restaurant service. He hopes that we can meet his need and grant him the amount that he needs in the form of a loan to improve his business and, above all, to improve his quality of life and that of his partner.

6 months loan from Microfinanzas PRISMA, Peru (5 stars)
200 $ left to fund (sorry to say that I myself am completely out of credits today  Cry)
