Lalaniaina would like to thank lenders for their support. He was able to increase his family's savings with his earnings. With this new loan, he will buy ducks to fatten and feed for them. When they're ready, he will sell them at the local market. He will continue saving his earnings, and he plans to buy a steer to fatten in the future.

Lalaniaina remercie bien les prêteurs de leur appui. Il a pu hausser l'épargne de la famille avec ses gains. Pour ce nouveau prêt, il va faire de l'élevage de canard. Il va acheter avec l'argent du prêt des canards prêts à gaver avec des maïs pour les nourrir. Il va vendre au marché local de la ville ses canards après gavage. Il va continuer à épargner ses gains. Il prévoit d'acheter un bœuf à engraisser dans l'avenir.
Vahatra is a non-profit organization that provides low-income families in Madagascar with opportunities for education, healthcare, professional training, and family services. The organization specifically targets families who earn an average income of $1 or less per day per person, and evaluates each family's need to provide unique and tailored services. With Kiva's assistance, Vahatra will be able to provide loans for more people, therefore providing low-income families with new opportunities.
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.
A Lending Partner's average loan size is expressed as a percentage of the country's gross national annual income per capita. Loans that are smaller (that is, as a lower percentage of gross national income per capita) are generally made to more economically disadvantaged populations. However, these same loans are generally more costly for the Lending Partner to originate, disburse and collect.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest.
