What is Kiva?

Kiva is an organization that allows people to lend money via the Internet to microfinance institutions in developing countries around the world and in the United States, which in turn lend the money to small businesses.

Kiva provides a data-rich, transparent lending platform which allows you to see who you are donating to, how much they need, and exactly what the money is going towards. Lending through Kiva is a more dignified approach to alleviating poverty because, rather than just giving money, borrowers are able work toward economic independence.

Kiva is a smart place to put your money, so if you're considering donating- DONATE TODAY!
