The naysayers said…

That can’t scale!

That’s illegal!

That’s not charity! (but that’s not a real business either!)

Just go to a big Wall St Bank!

And then came the press

"Revolutionizing how donors and lenders in the US are connecting with small entrepreneurs in developing countries”

Page 8: Matt little rock

What we learned about Microfinance….

Half the world lives on <$2/day

Most working poor run small businesses

Microfinance products and services key elements to economic self-sufficiency

Microcredit loans help many entrepreneurial, poor individuals lift themselves out of poverty

Cockfighting in Peru?

Sara Elva Vasquez Rodriquez runs a cockfighting business in the rural jungle town of Jepelacio, San Martin. Cockfighting is a passion for people all over Peru, including major urban areas. They hold fights every Saturday night in a coliseum they built into the back of their home. They charge an entrance fee, handle the bets, and sell food and drink while the packed house bets and cheers on their favorite competitors.

Hunting in Azerbajain?

Kamran is a member of the Hunter Society. He has a hunting dog. This clever dog helps him to hunt. In the beginning of his business he did not have a dog and it was a big problem for him. One day he decided to borrow $400 and bought the hunting dog. Now he needs a loan of $1000 to buy a fowling-piece, which is a light shotgun for shooting birds and small animals.

Is he really a hunter?

After meeting with Karman, seeing his rifle, hunting license, pictures, and simply speaking with him, I was convinced that he was in fact a hunter and that the lender can be rest assured that the funding raised for Karman was used for Karman’s business as a professional hunter.

The Kiva Revenue Model

Page 28: Matt little rock

And then came the financial crisis…

Remittances decreased

Exports softened

Lenders contracted

Page 29: Matt little rock

A remarkable counterexample emerged….
