The steps to access this tool are as follows: The loan applicant requests the resources. The loan goes through the subscription and approval process. Finally, the loan is published on Kiva for companies to support and raise the money to lend it. Finally, they repay the loan. It would be interesting to know Kiva's solvency index to also carry out awareness campaigns so that each user who receives the loans repays them within the corresponding timeframes. **What do you dislike about Kiva?** I wouldn't have any negative aspect to say about this very useful tool. The only thing is that there should be more advertising or promotion of this tool to help so many people in the world and benefit their environments. **Recommendations to others considering Kiva:** First of all, I would recommend generating more information so that different private companies can reach various parts of the countries to help generate income for so many micro-entrepreneurs who currently need it.
