Kiva loan to Susan in St. Paul Minnesota

Yesterday was International Women’s Day. We completed some work for clients around a few campaigns related to achieving gender parity in business, but not a personal civic act to honor International Women’s Day.

Today, I made a Kiva loan to Susan in St. Paul, Minnesota. Susan is a female entrepreneur, running a business called Mademoiselle Miel, a confectionary business that focuses on honey bon-bons and other treats made with honey. She’s a beekeeper and a chocolate maker! The loan will go toward new packaging for her products.
