WorldView Kiva Lending Team – WorldView Kiva Lending Team

Kiva (www.kiva.org) is a pretty amazing non-profit organization that allows people like us to make micro loans - loans as little as $25 - to a specific low-income entrepreneur in third world countries.

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.

You can read all about Kiva on its website.  

At Worldview we have created our own lending team on Kiva which we welcome you to join, if you like, so we can work together to alleviate poverty.  Once you're a part of the team, you can choose to have a future loan on Kiva "count" towards our team's impact. The loan is still yours, and repayments still come to you - but you can also choose to have the loan show up in our team's collective portfolio, so our team's overall impact will grow!
