Yola Needs Your Help with Kiva Loans

After a fantastic event at SOCAP09, we’re pleased to share that Yola’s Kiva Lending Team contributed $7,500 to support entrepreneurs around the world.  Starting today, Yola will be matching that amount and we need your help to identify great Kiva entrepreneurs who need funding.  Here’s the plan:

Yola will be accepting Kiva loan recommendations via Twitter so start following @yola today.  To nominate an entrepreneur, post a message like this one from your Twitter account:

@yola fund this Kiva entrepreneur: Beatrice is a 25-year old dress maker in the Ashanti region of Ghana bit.ly/8Safr

Twitter only allows 140 characters but that should still leave enough room to share something interesting about each of the entrepreneurs. Don’t forget to include a link to each entrepreneur’s page and @yola so we see your recommendation.

For more information on Kiva, read about them here.  And for an interesting article on SOCAP - which Yola and Kiva co-sponsored last week - take a look at this article from the Economist.

Now let’s get lending!
