We loan because:
As a travel writer, I saw so much poverty that I decided to turn all of those paychecks into Kiva loans. Then I visited a bunch of clients, who were amazing. Now I'm writing a book about Kiva called "The 1st International Bank of Bob" (Bloomsbury, 2012).

I hope the book will get more people to feel attracted to Kiva, excited about microlending, and more connected to the rest of the world.

Everybody else here seems so friendly and fun and playful and generous that I just feel incredibly lucky they've crossed my path along the way.
About us:
People who realize that if we switched places with the recipients, they'd loan to us just as happily. So, fair's fair.
