All loans that have been recently funded on Kiva will be refunded to lenders. There are also $259,932.07 in current outstanding loans; as repayments come in from these borrowers, those funds will also be paid back to lenders. As these additional payments are received from Fundacion Agrocapital, the high delinquency ratio expressed on the Kiva website should fall to normal levels.
