invites you to join Kiva
Create opportunity for women, farmers, artisans and students with as little as $25.
Adela, Kiva borrower and pig farmer in El Salvador
Kiva is different from traditional charities because you get to choose who to support, and your contribution is a loan, not a donation. 100% of your loans go to support borrowers.
When you're repaid you can relend that same $25 again and again to multiply your impact. Join Tracey on Kiva and change a life today!
