Kiva
Posted on 06. Aug, 2009 by James Williams in Social Financing
I wanted to let you know about Kiva (www.kiva.org), a non-profit that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur across the globe.
You choose who to lend to – whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq – and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. It’s a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.
If you are looking for a way to change your world for the better – then consider Kiva. If you’d like to see the lives I’m changing through Kiva, then check out my Kiva lender page.
