Got an extra 25 bucks? Why not invest in people

Why Kiva?

Kiva lenders, like me, combat poverty daily by making small loans to borrowers around the world. We believe in fair access to affordable capital for people to improve their own lives.

Often only a relatively small amount of money stands in the way of Kiva borrowers and their dreams. Whether it’s a Kenyan farmer who needs $500 in order to double her grain production, or a young Bolivian woman who lacks the $1,500 tuition for nursing school, Kiva lenders provide a hand up to these and countless other borrowers.

Hello World!

In August 2012 I started to realize how “lazy” people were with their money. On the smaller scale, some people would just let it sit around collecting dust in their homes, others would drop pocket change on the floor and not pick it up, still others would rent carts from grocery stores and be so lazy as to not return them to the cart return place. On a medium scale, many of my friends would often pay full price for things which they could get much cheaper if they just looked around for a bargain. On the larger scale, people would often talk to me about how they have X amount of dollars in their bank account (which is great!) but would leave it in a low interest account making virtually no return.
