Money that works twice

7.5×

Donations here don't get spent once. As borrowers repay, $5,949 of $6,870 lent has already come back — and gets lent out again. The result: roughly $921 of net donations has powered $6,870 of total lending across 385 lending actions.

Assumes repaid funds are re-lent, which is how this portfolio is run. Losses ($145.76 to date) are shown openly below.

How each year's loans turned out

Every loan grouped by the year it was backed, colored by where it stands today. Older cohorts have mostly come back; newer ones are still in motion.

Does loan length change the outcome?

Every loan grouped by its repayment term, colored by where it stands today. Shorter loans dominate this portfolio; longer terms carry a bit more of the still-active and troubled weight.

Term is the scheduled repayment window Kiva lists for each loan, in months.

How long the money actually stays out

Real time from the day a loan was backed to the day it closed — repaid loans in green, the few that defaulted in red. Most capital is back within a year, ready to be lent again.

293 repaid loans (median 6.9 months to close) · 14 defaults, by time-to-default. Loans still active are not shown.

What a loan is worth where it lands

The median loan in each country, measured against a year of local average wages. The same few hundred dollars is a rounding error in one place and most of a year's income in another — that's the leverage these loans carry.
