Typical

Blog: Kiva Stories from the Field - 1 September 2009

As a parting shot from my Kiva Fellowship, I put this short video together to represent what a “typical” Kenyan woman’s life is like. It doesn’t even begin to do justice to any of the great Kiva borrowers, but it’s at least my best attempt at immortalizing all of them!  Enjoy.

Joel Carlman recently finished his time as a Kiva Fellow with Kisumu Medical & Education Trust in Kenya.
