1. I live in the U.S. Can I apply for a loan?:

   Kiva does not process loan requests. If you’re an entrepreneur in the United States who is interested in applying for a microloan, please contact our United States Field Partners, Opportunity Fund and ACCION USA.

   Please note that Kiva is unable to assist with or provide feedback on any loan application, as our Field Partners are solely responsible for evaluating loan candidates.

   
   
2. Why does Kiva lend funds to entrepreneurs in the U.S.?:

   Kiva is a global organization and seeks to provide working capital to entrepreneurs all over the world. Poverty exists in every country, including the United States, and Kiva hopes to address poverty wherever it exists.
