Ah, you're right, they've gathered a few more (and some of them are 'groups').
We have groceries, laundry, poultry, a number of distribution companies, shoes, jewelry, catering, and a beauty salon to lend to, among others.
How does a Ugandan shoe seller sound?
There's really no reason our loans have to go the spreading of vices...

Here is a grocery / food group in Tanzania that looks promising and I just funded it. They were 0% funded as of 20:30 EST.

They're now completely funded... seems the site got some media attention and now the loans are pouring in like no tomorrow. It might be tough to all get on board the same one this time.
Some of the ones with larger openings include Vietnamese poultry, Togolese butcher, Togolese clothing, Ugandan poultry...
I think I'm going to lend to the Togo clothing place.

Hmm... both our lenders have the initials AA. I suppose that's an admission of our sins in some respect.

Jeff, Ian, and I have donated to Togo's future Stella McCartney.... I guess that's something of a "next OTP" venture.

Word to your mothers...
My man Komlan Amégavi and I are going to wipe the floor with your fashionista (judging by her pic someone should get her a copy of Marie Claire). His butcher shop is going to be OFF THE HOOK. I have another 25 bucks credit - I'm looking to diversify my portfolio.

Noticed that. Wow. When I posted my "AA" post, there was still $825 needed to be raised.

Togolese butcher is filled up too.
I've lent to one of the Ugandan poultry farmers as well. There's still plenty of room in a different one, too.

Well, I've always wanted to be involved in the Rickshaw business so I've gone and invested in a Pakistani Rickshaw.  |

The owner of the rickshaw is using the loan to remove pieces of shrapnel and blood stains from the carriage.
Too soon?
