We Let You Loan to the Working Poor

Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.

Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world.

The people you see on Kiva's site are real individuals in need of funding - not marketing material. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get your loan money back, you can relend to someone else in need.

Kiva partners with existing expert microfinance institutions. In doing so, we gain access to outstanding entrepreneurs from impoverished communities world-wide. Our partners are experts in choosing qualified entrepreneurs. That said, they are usually short on funds. Through Kiva, our partners upload their entrepreneur profiles directly to the site so you can lend to them. When you do, not only do you get a unique experience connecting to a specific entrepreneur on the other side of the planet, but our microfinance partners can do more of what they do, more efficiently.

Kiva provides a data-rich, transparent lending platform. We are constantly working to make the system more transparent to show how money flows throughout the entire cycle, and what effect it has on the people and institutions lending it, borrowing it, and managing it along the way. To do this, we are using the power of the internet to facilitate one-to-one connections that were previously prohibitively expensive. Child sponsorship has always been a high overhead business. Kiva creates a similar interpersonal connection at much lower costs due to the instant, inexpensive nature of internet delivery. The individuals featured on our website are real people who need a loan and are waiting for socially-minded individuals like you to lend them money.


By joining Kiva and lending relatively small amounts you will have HUGE impact on people like Mohammad Halam from Kabul, Afghanistan


Mohammad Halam is very happy now when we went and ask he about his business he was really very strong in his business, he said I complete my wishes to further life and business, now he attracted more customers and developed his business and expand his inventory stock and some thing important is making enlarge his shop and he can repay the loan very well, when we ask he, would like to containing his partner ship he said yes for the next loan I can open anther shop at end he thank again from those that helped he in this process

The Israel Free Loan Association (http://www.freeloan.org.il/english/homepage) might be an organization that could be a partner organization for a project to help Ethiopians looking for seed money. They have a lot of experience in regenerating loans.

I see. There was one in Gaza that was closed with a 57% default rate.
None in Israel.
It would take at least two years to set up and require a minimum of 1000 lendees!
A formidable barrier to entry...
