Lend to a refugee, rebuild a community
Kiva connects lenders (like you!) with refugees to help them create financial stability in their new communities. Your support gives them access to resources they would otherwise lack, helping them rebuild their lives.
Lend to a refugee on Kiva and the Tripadvisor Foundation will match it (up to $150,000), doubling your impact! Your loans will go towards Kiva's goal of expanding financial opportunities for 75,000 additional refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) by 2026.

How Kiva loans help refugees
With limited access to bank accounts, credit histories, or even permanent addresses, most banks consider refugees too risky to qualify for financial services. But without access to resources like business loans, it’s hard for refugees to regain their stability.
Expanding access to financial services provides a sustainable solution that helps displaced people establish credit and pursue new economic opportunities.
With Kiva, refugees can start businesses, pursue an education, and improve their livelihoods in their host communities — like Alba, who used Kiva to infuse life into her beauty business.
