We love the idea of small businesses or individuals helping other small business owners in so many places all over the world! A friend suggested we try Kiva.org several years ago and we have enjoyed the experience! At just $25 per (micro)loan, the impact seems small, but is magnified. It is also inspiring to see the results made by these of the funds.
Altogether we have given under $1,000 over several years, but as the loans are recycled and given to new applicants as the older loans are repaid, the impact has been $3,335 with 134 loans made in 40 different countries! We have learned so very much from the recipients, too, of their goals, challenges, and successes!
Currently, Kiva is helping with the Global COVID-19 crisis and relief, as well as Refugees world wide, Education, Agriculture, Home Improvement, Shop or Livestock Supplies, Arts, etc.
Here are some of our most recent partners. We wish them much continued success and thank them for their beautiful inspiration!
