Fighting for a better future? We need your help.

Creating a more equitable world takes a lot of time and energy, but at Kiva we’re in it for the long haul. 100% of money lent on Kiva goes to funding loans. That means we rely on donations from people like you to make this work possible. For a limited time, if you donate $35 or more, a $25 bonus will be added to your account (you’ll get an email once it’s there).

Kiva Lending Team: Friends of Habitat for Humanity

A Common Interest team since Jul 17, 2011

We loan because...
We believe that everyone should have access to safe, affordable housing.

About us
July 17, 2011. The Winnipeg Blitz Build had just wrapped up. This year, we built the 200th home in Winnipeg and the 2000th home in Canada! :-) Well, I got to thinking, "I bet there's a Habitat for Humanity Lending Team...that's where I'd like to credit my housing loans." So I went looking and, much to my surprise, I couldn't find a HFH lending team anywhere...so...now there is one. I feel certain that there are other HFH supporters out there. Come join me! :-)

Location: The Global Village
