Fountain Valley High School

Kiva + High School

Kiva Clubs in high schools serve as hubs for microfinance projects. They engage students in actively supporting people globally and introduce them to the world of microfinance. This helps students gain a deeper understanding of financial inclusion, entrepreneurship, and the impactful nature of small-scale lending. This fundamental knowledge serves as a stepping stone for those interested in pursuing careers in finance, mutual aid, or non-profit work.

Kiva + Colleges

We understand the importance of microfinance in overcoming financial obstacles, and our trustee clubs harness this potential. We combine the impact of microloans with the determination of college students passionate about making a positive difference as leaders. Kiva’s collegiate chapters embody this powerful blend, fueled by a deep dedication to financial equity. Our impact-driven consulting groups are a crucial link between individuals, communities, and the financial support needed to turn their aspirations into tangible achievements. Together, we create opportunities and foster positive change that makes a difference in people’s lives.
