Meet Cecilia! She lives in Liberia, which is one of the countries that has been ravaged by the Ebola epidemic. When I was in college, I was assigned many research papers on Ebola, because it is considered a zoonotic (can be transferred from human to animal and vice versa) disease. Through my research, I learned so much about the daily trials and tribulations of the indigenous people of the Ebola River Communities.

When I learned of another outbreak, and heard that it was the worst one yet, I knew that I wanted to help. Many people are so uneducated about this virus and therefore are in fear of completely irrational things regarding it. The average household income in Liberia is only $500, and now it is much, much less because of the quickly spreading disease, many local businesses have had to shut down and people are not only dying of ebola, but now also starvation, malaria, and many pregnancy-related illnesses which were previously treated in hospitals. For fear of spreading the virus, even most of the pregnancy clinics are shut down to women in labor or children dying from malaria.
Please, I pray, that the people living in Liberia, Sierra Leone, as well as all the other smaller affected countries can overcome this.
Damn it feels good to be me right now. Thanks LCB for your partnership in this.

I was pleasantly suprised to see the amount that the LCB team has donated to date! Also have to gives props to slotland for being on our team and donating as well. Going to have to make a deposit there soon! Would be nice to get more of our reps to get their casinos on board there.

jodiisgreat, I have donated money to kiva in past and not through lcb site. I have question for you: What will happen to the money (this 25$ lcb gift card) after it is repaid on kiva? Will that money go back to lcb or is it yours money so you can withdraw that money from kiva or make another loan? *Sorry about my not so good english. Thanks for reply.

Hi Mizra. Your English is great! As your borrower repays the loan the money is deposited into your Kiva account. You are then free to either withdraw it via PayPal or check or to keep on lending. I choose to keep on lending!! Hopefully somebody can link Team LCB's page on Kiva here.

Prior loans repaid, so I am able to relend money to continue helping others...
Anita is running a kiosk that helps her to generate income for her family. She opened her kiosk a year ago with her own working capital of $1,100. She will use the loan to buy a refrigerator and stock to keep in her store, such as Fanta, CocaCola, water and rice. She is a hardworking woman and she hopes to run a bigger business in the future.
