It’s been a couple of months since I’ve mentioned Kiva so it must be time to do it again. A small amount of money (that you get BACK!!) can change someone’s life. And that someone’s family, and their employees, and their village. That’s better than interest in my opinion, and substantially better than the return you get on Wall Street these days….by a long shot. Take a look at this short video:
Or swing by this Kiva Fellow’s blog to watch a more detailed video of just how Kiva works. Including footage of a Kiva loan recipient making her loan payment and seeing pictures of people who lent to her: A Fistful of Dollars The Story of a Kiva.org Loan.

Hello! I’m a big supporter of international philanthropy, and I know Kiva does great work. If you’re looking for another resource for giving, I work for UniversalGiving, an online non-profit designed to connect individuals to the best performing projects to donate to or volunteer with. If you’re curious, check us out at www.universalgiving.org.
Best wishes,
Cheryl Mahoney
