 Level: 1 CS Original | Yeh, Mr. don't like minorities and immigrants (Nanos) brings them up from time to time. It would be great to see more microfinancing sites like it, but some criticisms are Kiva's 3rd party lending partners charge very high interest rates and fees (the average is 35%) and loans can be pre-disbursed to burrowers without any screening. | |||||
