Title: Micro loan for electronics education One student on Kiva FYI

Just FYI  no suggestions or recommendations

Seems only one student on Kiva wanting an educational loan related to electronics.  Interesting lab equipment.  Looks like an old computer in the background.  However there is no mention of what school it is.

Student loans have a very long pay back (they start when the student graduates)

My only connection I have with Kiva is I loaned $50 to farmers in Albania to buy cows.

In general the way this works is the people already got their loan, and the sponsor is asking to get re-paid and interest is charged and kept by the sponsor to make a profit and pay for bad loans.

I came across Kiva from another member here on a topic I cannot remember.
