Student loan through Vittana


I made my first student microloan through Vittana today. I made a loan to Munhtuya B So she can go to medical school in Mongolia.
I would never have been able to get any of my university degrees (including the Ph.D. from Yale) without the help of student loans. I am very grateful I lived in countries that offered them to students without credit.

And I'm grateful that I have the opportunity to help others with their dream.

I'm the communities manager at Vittana and just saw your post - it made my day. Thanks so much for your loan to Munhtuya.

Let me know if I can help answer any questions about what we do, and thanks for taking the time to document your efforts to change the world. Your blog is inspiring.
