| About us: | Kiva High School is a national network of high school students and their respective chapters, unified by a belief that poverty can be alleviated and that microfinance is an effective tool to achieve this end. Students organize chapters of Kiva High School to join with like-minded students in their community and around the country to raise money to battle poverty, not with sympathy, but with business transactions rooted in mutual dignity. Kiva High School is guided by these goals, which we affirm to be our mission: • To inspire awareness of global issues, especially poverty and hunger; • To bring together and subsequently organize students interested in fighting poverty; • To encourage interest in microfinance as a tool to combat poverty; • To raise money to invest in worthy entrepreneurs in developing states, countering the predatory loaning practices so prevalent among the world's poorest regions; • To develop in its members a sense of global responsibility; • To enable others to become more aware of global issues such as poverty and help them realize the power of microfinance; • To establish a network of high school chapters around the country in which this organization will be a central resource; • To allow high school students to play a direct role in alleviating global poverty through loans to entrepreneurs in the developing world. |
