Our first Kiva loan

Posted 04 Jan 2009 in Social Justice


I’ve known about Kiva for awhile now and Michelle and I made our first loan today. Kiva is an organization that allows you to donate money through loans to entrepreneurs in underdeveloped countries. It is a pretty rad idea that is using technology to truly create a new kind of community. I would strongly encourage you to check it out for yourself. We just made a loan to help a woman named Estela with her business. Click here to see Michelle and my lending page.


***UPDATE*** If you are going to sign up and make a loan then please join the group, Kiva Christians, before you make the loan so that the group gets credit for what you do. Thanks!

    Very cool! I have heard lots of good things about Kiva.

    That’s so awesome! Kirk and I have previously talked about doing this, but we got sidetracked and the idea slipped off our radar. Thanks for the reminder!
