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.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... the loans that have been paid back and the success of businesses who have received loans.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... reading the stories of entrepreneurs and the good that the loans are doing abroad.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... very passionate about their mission of alleviating poverty.
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.
Kiva's online platform allows you to make a microloan to entrepreneurs from around the world, ranging from a goat herder in Kenya to a seamstress in Peru. It is a great way to connect with the world's poor to contribute to a sustainable to alleviate poverty -- check out www.kiva.org!

- 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.

Kiva.org is a wonderful organization that has really been revolutionary in the field of microfinance by allowing someone to lift an entrepreneur in the developing world out of poverty with as small as $25. My experience has been very positive because the website allows me to connect with an entrepreneur of my choice and establish a connection which is blurred between the lines of a personal/business relationship. At the end of the day Kiva is perfect as I can help someone who is facing the conditions of global poverty and at the same time get my money back over 98% of the time.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... having transparency between the lender and the entrepreneur.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... getting periodic business updates.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... very friendly and determined.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... end global poverty
Ways to make it better!
- If I ran this organization, I would... continue the status quo.
- One thing I'd also say is that... this is REAL NOT FAKE.
