sabrinamariIf you are thinking of doing a free trial on KIVA, please give this guy a look.
He's running a natural herbs/products factory in Lebanon and has requested a loan to buy raw materials and oils. He's got $900 left to raise and only 3 days left on KIVA before his post expires. As a man, he's up against smaller odds of getting his loan fully funded. Women on KIVA get loans much, much faster than do men. As a Middle Eastern man, he is even less likely to appeal to U.S. loaners.
Plus, the portfolio yield is just above 20%---reflecting a very reasonable interest rate for an international microloan. Plus, he's in a politically sensitive area (thus his face has been hidden), so I think he could use a break. He's been on KIVA for almost a month and only 11 people have loaned to him.
You can see his profile and cut him a break here:

"Nizar is a 53-year-old Lebanese married man who lives with his wife and one child who is still studying. He’s the one taking care of his family and he is looking to enhance their way of living. Nizar has owned a natural herbs factory since 2010, where he produces and sells natural products to the neighboring areas. Today, he needs to borrow a loan from Kiva Partner Ameen s.a.l. to purchase the needed quantity of herbs and oils in order to carry on his work in a proper way. In that way, he will be able to boost his productivity and earn superior income. In the future, he plans to open his own natural products shop."
