Status update on Fundacion Agrocapital from Kiva Staff on June 24, 2010:

Fundacion Agrocapital has decided to close its relationship with Kiva.

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.

We'd like to thank Kiva lenders for their support of Fundacion Agrocapital borrowers over the last 33 months. $3,145,300 has been raised for AgroCapital borrowers with the help of the Kiva community. Many thanks for your continued support!
