Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing
world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can "sponsor a business" and help the
world's working poor make great strides towards economic independence. Throughout the
course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the
business you've sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back.
We are members of KIVA and have loaned over $1,000 to various farmers in Third World
