Could it not just be that there are a lot of people in similar situations getting loans through Kiva and to save time a template is used for the loan description?

Maybe, but they have too much similarities (they want to buy the exact same things, work the exact same time, started their business in the same year, etc). Or maybe it's just statistically not that improbable.

Anyway, I have already asked them, waiting for a response.

Have you also tried posting on the Kiva Friends forum? In particular, you might be interested in the Double Loan Listings thread:

On page 52 of the thread there's an example of different women being photographed at the same store. So it definitely does happen sometimes.
