We loan because:
we care about families (past, present and future).
About us:
We received the 2011 GeneaBlog Award for 'Best New Community Project'.

Through Kiva, a non-profit organisation working with microfinance institutions, we make $25 loans (not handouts) that enable borrowers without access to traditional banks to expand their small businesses, support their families, educate their children, save for the future and raise themselves out of poverty. When the loan is repaid, we can withdraw the money or lend it again. By repeatedly lending the same $25 we can make a difference to many people's lives.

You can invite your family and friends to join this team, even if they are not involved in genealogy.
