Growing up in Baltimore City, Maryland I never felt as if I had many options to explore my fullest potential. I had two options: play basketball or seek employment. Athleticism runs in my bloodline, but not many of my family members are successful lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs, or teachers. To me, success was looked upon as limited because I was always told that success is only achieved if you went to college, accumulated degrees, and acquired a high-paying job. I disliked the idea that my hidden passions such as music, writing, poetry, and my entrepreneurial spirit were never pushed or explored because my parents did not believe I would find much success in those avenues. But who were they to cap my success?
After my freshman year of college, that's when my journey into entrepreneurship began. I created a summer enrichment program and encountered many children who develop in similar households as me. I could empathize with them because their parents convicted them into believing that their passions were more so a hobby and wouldn't bring them much success. So I provided a summer program where we offered various trades, activities, professional career pathways, and tailored interests of campers. Here, campers and participants were not limited to success or what they were taught they could do or become. They were able to push their success and remove the "cap" or limits their parents had placed on them. I essentially provided a space I wish my peers and I had access to as a child.
For the past 7 summer programs, I've witnessed campers start their own business, become better students, and be more autonomous. You never know where you can find success unless you first explore the potential. My goal is to support much youth to create their own definition of success.

More about this loan
Business Description
Since age 5, I knew I was meant to be an entrepreneur. I would set up garage sales, without my parent's permission, in order to have money to purchase items from the store or ice cream truck. I knew how to be personable and how to never take no for an answer. I learned at the age of 5 how to set goals for myself, make plans to achieve those goals, and never give up on my goals. My goal at age 28 is to instill the motivation and mindset of an entrepreneur in many children. Not that all children will grow up and become entrepreneurs, but at least they will understand the importance of working hard, setting goals, and being autonomous.
To model the purpose of an entrepreneur, Natural Born Champions Inc. (NBC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) community intervention program that aims to provide direct educational and professional services for youth, families, and educators in Baltimore, Maryland. Our programs promote equity, create opportunity, and improve lives and communities. NBC programs increase access to basic needs: housing, health, employment, and education.
Our program is for all members of the community. We tailor to our community needs by providing affordable Before & After Care, Summer Camp, entrepreneurship, in-school & after school therapy sessions, various parent & teacher workshops, and so many other life-changing experiences. While our programs continue to grow simultaneously so are our participants. We uplift students to become better learners and leaders, we encourage educators to become more invested in their career and school environment, and lastly, we influence parents to believe that their personal goals, outside of being a parent, are still achievable.
NBC is a one-stop-shop for all of our community needs.
What is the purpose of this loan?
The purpose of this loan will go towards the necessary renovations to Natural Born Champions' new commercial location. We will also use these funds to go towards equipment, furniture, air conditioning & heating units that are all needed to make the space conducive and safe for all of our participants. Our ultimate goal, after the completion of the renovation, is to hire trainers for in-house promotion opportunities. Our first hire will be a project or program manager for our various services.

What is the disbursed date?
The disbursed date indicates the date that the borrower receives their loan funds. Loan disbursal for loans on Kiva can happen anywhere from 30 days before to 90 days after the loan is posted on the Kiva website. Direct loans are always post-disbursed, and will be done only after the loan has fully fundraised on Kiva.
In the case of partner loans, many of our Lending Partners choose to disburse loan funds before the loan request is posted on Kiva. We allow pre-disbursal because it ensures that the funds reach the borrower as soon as they are needed. Loan funds from Kiva lenders then go to backfill that amount and as a lender you assume the risk of the loan. By doing this, our Lending Partners assume the risk that, if the loan isn't funded by lenders, they will have to fund the loan without any funds from Kiva.
If a partner loan is not pre-disbursed, it will be listed on Kiva with an expected "post-disbursed" date. If a post-disbursed loan is not funded on Kiva, there is a chance that the borrower may not receive their loan. Some Lending Partners choose to disburse loans with other sources of funding, while other partners don't have the resources available to fund loans without Kiva lenders' support. No direct loans will be disbursed unless they fully fundraise on Kiva.

No direct loans will be disbursed unless they fully fundraise on Kiva.
Funding model
Every loan has only 30 days to fundraise on Kiva. There are 2 different options for how that funding is sent to the field:
Fixed: the total loan amount must be raised in order for funds to be sent to the Lending Partner. If the loan is not funded in full within the fundraising period, the loan will expire and any funds raised will be returned to lenders' Kiva accounts.
Flexible: any funds raised within 30 days will be passed along to the Lending Partner facilitating the loan and they will come up with other sources of funding to cover the rest of the loan amount.
What does "Partner covers currency loss" mean & how could it affect my Kiva loans?
When lending internationally, the local currency in a borrower's country may lose some of its value compared to the US dollar -- requiring the partner to use more of its local currency to repay Kiva in USD. We offer some Lending Partners the option to protect themselves against currency fluctuations by choosing to pass on these losses to Kiva lenders. By bearing this risk, lenders protect the partner and its borrowers from catastrophic currency devaluations and contribute to the sustainability of their operations.
Potential for currency exchange loss is noted on every loan profile under the loan details:
"Yes" means the Lending Partner will cover any currency loss. Lenders will not bear losses due to currency fluctuation
"Partial" means that the Lending Partner has opted to cover losses only up to 10%. If the U.S. dollar appreciates more than 10% against the local currency, those losses will be passed onto lenders.
"No" means that the Lending Partner is not covering any currency losses and all losses will be passed onto lenders.
"N/A" means the Lending Partner disburses loans to borrowers in USD so their loans are not subject to any currency fluctuation.

Do Kiva borrowers pay any interest on their loans?
Yes, most Kiva borrowers do pay interest to our Lending Partners in some form. Kiva and Kiva lenders themselves do not receive interest on these loans.
Our partners collect interest from borrowers because there are many operational expenses associated with microfinance in developing markets, especially in rural areas. Many of Kiva's Lending Partners also provide additional services alongside their loan products such as business training, financial literacy lessons, or health services.
Kiva will not partner with an organization that charges unreasonable interest rates, and we require Lending Partners to fully disclose their rates. In addition, we only partner with microfinance institutions and organizations that have a social mission to serve the poor, unbanked, and underserved.
There are some 0% interest loans on Kiva, including all direct loans in the United States. To learn more about the interest rates Kiva borrowers pay, you can review the "Average cost to borrower" field on a loan profile.
We also encourage you to read the following articles if you are interested in further educating yourself on the topic: Microfinance 101 (https://www.kiva.org/microfinance), Top 10 things to know about microfinance (https://www.kiva.org/blog/top-10-things-to-know-about-microfinance), Microfinance interest rates explained (https://www.kiva.org/blog/whats-up-with-microfinance-interest-rates)

What is a risk rating?
There are many levels of risk associated with Kiva loans, which are explained on our website here: kiva.org/about/risk
The Lending Partner risk rating reflects the risk of institutional default associated with each of Kiva’s Lending Partners. A 0.5-star rating means the organization has a relatively higher risk of institutional default, while a 5-star rating indicates the organization is at a relatively lower risk of default, based on Kiva's analysis and the available information displayed in the Lending Partner section of every loan. Lending Partners with the lowest credit tier undergo a lighter level of due diligence and do not receive a risk rating; instead, in places where a risk rating would normally appear, these partners are labeled as “Experimental.” For more information, see "What is an Experimental Lending Partner?"
Direct loans also do not receive a formal risk rating. Instead, these loans are approved through “social underwriting”, where trustworthiness is determined by friends & family lending a portion of the loan request, or by a Kiva approved Trustee vouching for the borrower. Direct loans will appear as "Unrated" and lenders should always assume these loans represent the highest level of repayment risk on Kiva.

How are loans facilitated?
Kiva loans are facilitated through 2 models, partner and direct, that enable us to reach the greatest number of people around the world.
For partner loans, borrowers apply to a local Lending Partner, which manages the loan on the ground. Lending Partners are responsible for screening borrowers, disbursing loans, posting borrowers to the Kiva website for funding, collecting repayments and otherwise administering Kiva loans on the ground to borrowers.
For direct loans, borrowers apply through the Kiva website and may or may not be endorsed by a Trustee. Unlike Lending Partners, Trustees don't handle any financial transactions or have any duty to repay loans on behalf of their borrowers. Instead, Trustees take the role of providing support and business advice to their borrowers throughout the term of the loan.
More information about successive and concurrent loans
Lending Partners often work with borrowers over time to help them build credit and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow some partners the ability to relist a loan without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information. When this occurs, you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from an earlier loan.
Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Lending Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These additional loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. We trust our partners to determine whether a borrower has the means to be able to repay a successive or concurrent loan.
