I love Kiva! It only takes $25 to make a difference in someone's life! I have actually sent Kiva loans to all my friends for christmas presents :)
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... helping lift people out of poverty and enhance their lives
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... how much impact I feel like I have with only $25
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... help end all poverty!
Ways to make it better!
- My experience would have been better if... there were more people to give loans to. At one point, I only saw like 3 people. I guess this is a good thing since that means that a lot of other people are giving loans.
- If I ran this organization, I would... advertise more! and hold more events/fundraisers
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... people don't know about it
Kiva is a wonderful nonprofit. Not only is it built on a great idea, but the staff and volunteers are so deeply passionate and determined to make a difference. The idea is sustainable and making a huge impact in communities around the world. I am proud to be part of this community as a lender and volunteer

Ways to make it better!
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... like most non-profits, funding and budgets are tight. instead of charging lenders to make loans, they use an 'optional donation' feature.
I was a Donor & Make 4 loans to entrepreneurs around the world.

Kiva is always keeping me updated on the latest projects being funded and how the businesses I have loaned to are doing. It is very rewarding to hear the stories that come from families who benefit from the loans.

Ways to make it better!
- If I ran this organization, I would... try and do collaborative work with other nonprofits that integrate health and education along with microloans.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... since they are resource strapped, there is not an easy way to market the great work that Kiva is doing.
