[This is part of a series of posts that will extend through the entire year of 2009 twice monthly according to my original post "My pledge to Kiva for 2009". To view all of my Kiva projects, take a moment to check out my Kiva lending page.]
In this week’s Kiva Pledge Update I am supporting Gowo Jenty in Sudan, a businesswoman who prepares and sells food at her restaurant in Juba, South Sudan.
According to her Kiva business page:
Gowo Jenty is 42 years old and is married with a husband who is a chief. She has five school-aged children. Gowo prepares and sells food at her restaurant, and she is requesting a loan to purchase more rice and beans to be cooked in the restaurant. With the extra profits from her loan, she hopes to be able to purchase some land, construct a building and rent it out.
Stay tuned for the next Kiva Pledge Update on June 7th.
