What is Kiva?

What is Kiva?
Glad you asked.  Kiva is way for you and me to help someone in an enterprising way by combining micro financing and the Internet.

Through Kiva, we can make loans to entrepreneurs all over the globe to help them start their own business to better themselves and their community.

Like traditional loans, the loans we make are with the expectation we will be repaid.  (according to their website, they have a better than 98% repayment rate)

Unlike traditional loans, you or I do not receive any interest on our loan, but we do get to know that what we are providing more than just a hand-out.

Please check Kiva out.  Give them five minutes of your time.

If you agree that "risking" 25 dollars to help someone out is something you'd like to do, please do so.  If you'd like, you may join our Just One Team by clicking the link on the side.

In good faith, I have started us off.

Take care.
