how I became a provider of Kiva
started to publish the stories of the providers of the Kiva team with Pippo Vinci Italy, from Palermo.
In 2002 I started working at an office of the Sicilian Region, which took care of decentralized cooperation. In practice, the international co-managed by local ( municipalities, provinces and regions). There calls were made to distribute money (a lot of money ) to NGOs and NGO wishing to design interventions in developing countries.
I took part in all stages, from the drafting of the notice, the appraisal of projects, the final list, verification of financial statements estimates and final accounts.
An obvious fact obvious. In each project, at 100 euro spent at least 40 if not 60 needed for the functioning of the organization: missions, transport, presentation of lectures, conferences, performance of opening and closing travel of verification, monitoring and research partner training courses in Italy and on-site, publications, posters and advertisements. Now that I think sometimes these costs exceed 70% of the budget. All this to build a well, or a shelter for animals, a clinic for a village, but the spending necessary to achieve an aqueduct, an entire farm or a small hospital with 25-30 seats bed.
I tried to change the setting of the call, but, without going into details of my story, my intentions never found a practical application and the necessary support "political" with the result that "was forced" to change sector.
In the same month I bought a little known book, "Banker to the Poor" by Mohammed Yunus. I found the book wonderfully close to my idea of \u200b\u200b"cooperation." Since that moment, I also met Kiva. Today I'm at my
29 ° loan.
With Kiva
