Why does this organization deserve funding?:
”Kiva is an organization that connects people through lending to alleviate
poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance
institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create
opportunity around the world.”
It is my belief that sustainable support of women in business and education
results in trickle-down benefits that impact health, children’s education, and
violence in developing nations.
I have donated to the Kiva Foundation to finance a loan for Mariam
Mwamwenda of Kenya to purchase rice, maize flour, wheat flour and cooking oil
to sell in her retail shop.
A year from now, once Mariam has repaid her loan, that money will be used to
finance another entrepreneurial woman in a developing nation to help her pursue
a better life for her and her family.
Kiva is a U.S. 501(c)3 non-profit organization. More information can be found at www.kiva.org.
As a sign of our appreciation and support, Corporte Visions has made a matching contribution to Kiva.org.
