From Kiva.org: Due to a recent surge in support ignited by viewers of the Oprah Winfrey Show , there is currently a shortage of businesses in need of loans. The Kiva.org staff and our Field Partners are working overtime to get more businesses on the website.
In the meantime, thank you for your patience!
I was really excited about getting my classes involved in Kiva.org this year. I was home sick on Wednesday when Oprah & Bill Clinton told the whole world about the site. Now it’s inundated with givers—so much so that there is often no one to lend to and lenders who are up there stay up for minutes at a time. While I’m happy that so many people are participating it looks like some of my classes will have to hold off for a while. I was able to make loans with 1B & 2B classes though.
More updates in the future.
