E Jona was selected as the winner of the Albanian Social Business Competition run by YSB, against more than 50 other competitors. With your support this Kiva loan will help finance the start-up costs of the E Jona coffee shop and provide the business with working capital for its first four months of operation. Approximately 4.3% of the Albania’s population is affected by disability, and one of the many struggles faced by young people with disabilities is the inability to lead a normal social life due to restricted access to social places that accommodate their needs. E Jona aims to create a space where young people with disabilities can have opportunities to work, socialize with friends and enjoy cultural activities. By lending to this business, you will help create an exciting place for Albanian youth, with or without disabilities, to work, interact and make an impression on each other’s lives. E Jona’s loan is fundraising now on Kiva: kiva.org/lend/634057
