About kiva

Financial opportunity for all

From racial discrimination and gender biases to armed conflict and climate change, there are many reasons why people are financially excluded.

Kiva’s mission is to provide financial access to all. There are still 1.4 billion people who lack financial access. Let’s change that.

Gender equity: 740 million women unbanked around the world - Kiva

More than 50% of all unbanked people worldwide are women — with little to no access to financial services.

Even though research shows that women are more likely to invest their earnings in ways that have a long-term impact on their families and communities, an overwhelming number still lack the economic agency to do so.

Kiva is creating opportunity for women worldwide
