Destination Kiva.org, A Great Website, A Great Cause!

Kiva.org is a shining example of what can be accomplished through the power of the internet, in this case the power to connect people of means with people of needs that would not otherwise meet!

Kiva.org gives people like you and me the opportunity to lend small amounts of capital (as little as $25) to specific entrepreneurs in the developing world, empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty.

You can help people such as Nelly Torres who hopes to purchase wood for her small carpentry shop in Peru, with which to make beautiful furniture.

By the way, you are making a loan and not a gift, as to date Kiva loans are being re-payed at a rate of 99.75 %.
