Jessica Jackley Kipa To Peer Model

Kiva is an organization that loans to people who need money for everyday struggles that the majority of us in our small town don’t face. I know what you're thinking “ What’s the point if they just have to pay it right back?”. That's the thing, with Kiva all the borrowers only have to pay back the money over a span of time every month for what we hope is for a lifetime of happiness.

The biggest driver that will differentiate Cole and Parker from their competition is the pitch of the microfinance organization, Kiva, to help other entrepreneurs to achieve their goals through microfinance loans

When younger Novogratz secured a job to work in Africa, she read everything she could lay her hand on on Africa and the microfinance organization she worked with before she left for Africa. When older Novogratz had an opportunity to work in Gambia after returning from Africa, she researched on all the projects the bank that she was going to work for have done previously in Gambia before she moved. Younger Novogratz went to a market in Rwanda to discuss with the women to have an idea of how the women thought a bank could help them. She wanted to have a better understanding of what kind of financial institution would be beneficial to the market women before she started Duterimbere bank with some group of women. Again, in Gambia older Novogratz went to a market and talk to a woman to find out how the bank could be helpful to the market women and the

Anderson (2002) while highlighting the characteristics of MFIs, noted that the traditional sources of finance of MSBs are from family and friends and the informal market which consists of rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCA), various “club” system pooling members’ savings for loans, village banks, buyers’ advances (both in cash and in kind) and money lenders. He however noted that they may have some access to semi-formal microfinance institutions (legally organised financial intermediaries that are not regulated by monetary authorities) such as non-profit NGOs, large village banks, suppliers who provide credit and money brokers.

The peer I am conducting this write up for is Jaclyn Mihal. She is Caucasian, and she has completed her bachelor’s degree in health studies. She works full-time as a nanny for a family, and she reports in her demographic information that her family is together. Jaclyn mentions that her relationship with her parents is very good, and she appears to be very thankful that she has an open, communicative relationship with her parents. She says that she can bring anything to them and that they provide her with unconditional love and support, and that they push her to do her best in whatever she chooses to take on in her life. Jaclyn listed that she has a brother, who is 25 years old, making her the youngest sibling. Jaclyn also says that her friends

Women are expected to stay at home, cooking and cleaning, not starting major buisnesses that require grit and perserverence. According to the Associated Press, Nalukenge is part of a growing trend where women are running their own buisnesses. This would have been unthinkable over 20 or 30 years ago. People like her are now employing over thousands of other people for these buisnesses. When Nalukenge first started selling bed sheets at bus stations in the Kampala, Uganda, she only had $10 left after many failed attempts. Now, she makes over $3,000 a month. A lot of grit and perseverence was involved to get to where she is today.

All players’ can borrow any amount of money from the bank throughout the game but only when it is the player’s turn. However, the loan must be in increments of $10,000. Along with receiving your loan, for every $10,000 increment you request, the banker will also issue the player a “promissory note every unit of $10,000.”35

Muhammed Yunus is an innovative economics professor who through hard work has become the face of microeconomics. In his novel, Banker to the Poor, Muhammed Yunus presents his concept of micro-lending as the leading solution for eradicating poverty. During conversations between Muhammed Yunus and banking professionals, professor Yunus was astounded by the way business was conducted in financial institutions, more specifically how they decided who qualified for a loan. After reading, Banker to the Poor, I can’t help but wonder, does Muhammed Yunus’ concept really benefit the lower class like he claims it does?

Microcredit is based on a separate set of principles, which are distinguished from general financing or credit. The savings-ed microfinance has gained recognition as an effective way to bring very poor families low-cost financial services. It’s not only provided in poor countries, but also in one of the world’s richest country USA, where 37 million people live below the poverty line (Grameen Bank). In Grameen Bank even a beggar gets special attention. A beggar comes under a campaign from Grameen Bank, which is designed to convince to join Grameen programme. The bank explains how she can carry some merchandise with her when she goes out to beg from door to door and earn money, or she can display some merchandise by her side when she is begging in a fixed place. Grameen's idea is to graduate her to a noble livelihood rather than continue with begging. Such a programme would not be a part of a conventional bank's work.

Some estimates say as low as 7% on a small loan amount or as high as 18% with larger loans from private lenders. Credit scores can also have an impact like they do here in the United States. Paying all cash upfront is simple, easy, and the norm in the past but financing is becoming more available.

What is microlending? In simplest terms microlending is the lending of very small amounts of money at low interest, to low income people in urban and rural areas. It started forty years ago, when a person named Muhammad Yunus was visiting his family and his country Bangladesh which had recently become an independent country. Muhammad Yunus had left his home country then –East Bengal- when he was a child with his parents in search of a better future. He graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, with a PhD in economics. Muhammad Yunus is the founder of Grameen Bank, the first non-profit organization to offer microfinance services in Bangladesh and in the world (New York Times). This bank showed the world on how little

To cite the saying that social entrepreneurship is the best way to help people in need, we would like to provide an outstanding example of social enterprise which is Grameen Bank. Grameen Bank was officially founded in 1983 by Muhammad Yunus and it provides small loans, rather than charity, to the poorest of the poor especially women in Bangladesh. This indeed provides an opportunity for the people to transform their lives. In 2006, Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank for their efforts to create economic and social
