OPPORTUNITIES AND RESOURCES: Kiva.org –Loans that change lives
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

What can you do with $25? You can have dinner and a movie. Or you can lend that money to help a group of women in Uganda get their dry foods store off the ground. With your help, thousands of individuals and small groups of aspiring businesses across underdeveloped and developing nations, now have a chance to make their own entrepreneurial dreams come true.

It’s all possible with Kiva.org, “the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website” whose mission is “to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.” Kiva gives ordinary individuals like you and me the extraordinary opportunity to make a direct impact on people’s lives not simply by donating money, but by giving them the means to earn their own living, and the dignity to pay the loan back. It’s an empowering deal on both the lender and the lendee. For those of us lucky enough to be far removed from poverty, Kiva allows us a closer glimpse of how we can help alleviate it.

Visit http://www.kiva.org/ to find out more about how your loan money of as little as $25 can help change lives.
