“The Curse of poverty has no justification in our age…The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty” – Martin Luther King, Jr, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?
Here at Kiva, we are all excited to have a long weekend, but we feel that Monday should be more of a day on than a day off. Monday is a day to celebrate a man who dreamed big, a man who thought that we can and must do better, and who left the world a better place than the way he found it.
So on Monday, we empower you to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr by making a Kiva loan to help alleviate poverty and inequality.
