Network Community Communication Solidarity Love

shared by kaoutarchennoufi on 13 Feb 21 - No Cached
  • Kiva connects your American dollars with a female Palestinian farmer looking for capital to invest in fertilizer, or a Peruvian motorcycle business that needs money to buy tires to resell. On Kiva’s web site right now, Samar from Jordan is looking for a loan to buy a sewing machine to support her embroidery shop, and Julius in Kenya is seeking funds for flour and oil for his catering business. These are real people with real stories, and by investing in them, you help make the world a smaller place.

      Kiva's real value relies on the fact that it works hardly to connect funds with people in need all around the world. It allows people to communicate and shares ideas and inspirations all around the world.
