I would really like if there is an option where we could optin to receive email notifications when new loans are listed on the Kiva.org website. It would be even more useful if we could choose type of loans we would like to receive notifications about. For example, loans from specific country, field partner, activity etc.

I'm particularly interested to make loans to fishermen, so I would chose to receive notifications about new loans with activity: fishing.

If you use twitter you might want to check out Kiva Notify.  I think it does what you want via twitter.  I don't have any experience using it though...

Hi Edo, 

 Welcome

I recommend you check out KivaLens:

http://www.kivalens.org/

If you search now, using the keyword "fishing", you get 6 fundraising loans from Lebanon, Uganda and Cambodia. There have been 63 matching loans in the past 30 days, so you should have lots of choices.

In addition, if you save this search (see the box in the bottom left corner), and click on Email alert, you will get email notifications when new loans are posted. You can also basket the loans from this site and access all kinds of information on the business, field partner and repayment details. As a bonus, the loans you basket from this site do NOT have the automatic default donation added prior to checkout. You do have to install Silverlight, if you don't already have it (...very easy to do!)

Hope it meets your needs. I love it!    Thumbs Up 

Best,
Laurie

Thank you Laurie, thank you David!

Kiva Lens turned to be just what I need. I set up email notifications with them for new loans, fishing, single borrower.

Btw, Kiva Lens is really cool tool!
