New World Impacts and Kiva Loans!

Kaleo's current World Impact - Giving Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies

Every day, thousands of children die because they do not have access to basic medicines that could save their lives. This gift will multiply 11 times to help ship and distribute essential pharmaceuticals and medical supplies like: antibiotics, antifungals, anti-parasitic drugs, deworming medications, disposable syringes, gastrointestinal drugs, painkillers and surgical supplies.

This World Impact is through World Vision.

Kaleo's current Kiva Loans - Gevorg & Yomaira

Gevorg rents a booth in the city market, where he sews and sells clothing. Due to the high quality of his work, Gevorg has attracted a large number of clients. In order to maintain the high quality of his clothing, Gevorg needs to purchase a new sewing machine, as the old one doesn't sew properly anymore. With the loan, Gevorg also plans to purchase some new clothing to sell. He will develop his business and increase his working capital, allowing him to pay for his children's education and
ensure a sustainable future for his family. Gevorg lives with his wife, school-age son, and two student daughters.


Yomaira is an enterprising young woman who is 23 years old. Although she only completed her primary education, she has owned her own business for four years. She lives together with her younger sister in Río Verde parish, in Santo Domingo. This is one of the newest cities in Ecuador.
This young lady owns a grocery store in the city center. She
works 10 hours a day and her younger sister helps her out. She would like to grow her business and will take out a loan so that she can achieve her goal.
In common with all young women, Yomaira's dream is to own her own home and a car. We know that she will achieve this, perhaps in the not-so-distant future, as a result of her hard work.
