"I had no money. I wanted to work to support my children. So I took that money to help them. I was able to buy things for my house. I also helped one of my kids when they got married, and whenever they are sick, I help them."

How it works
Funding one person after another
We fund small loans for people around the world to build their livelihoods. As they succeed, they repay, and that money is lent again.

About kiva
Financial opportunity for all
From racial discrimination and gender biases to armed conflict and climate change, there are many reasons why people are financially excluded.
Kiva’s mission is to provide financial access to all. There are still 1.4 billion people who lack financial access. Let’s change that.
More than 1.4 billion people around the world can’t access the financial services they need.
Underserved communities need financial access in order to create sustainable economic opportunity, yet they are excluded from fair and equitable financial resources and services. Kiva strives to bridge this gap and open the door to opportunity for every person around the world.
Kiva is working with partners like us to create opportunities for underbanked people.
