Love making a difference with Kiva? Your donations keep us running.

Thank you for the impact you’ve made this year! Together we’ve funded more than 170,000 loans and raised more than $120 million for financially excluded people around the world.

Kiva Lending Team: Part of the Solution

A Friends team since Aug 29, 2008

We loan because...
"You're either part of the problem, or part of the solution"

For a long time, I felt like my best option was to not be part of the problem. With Kiva, that's changed.

Each of us is only a small part .. but in the group, as in Kiva, we get to see how our single, seemingly small parts can come together and form real-world solutions.
