Donating to KIVA

I donated to KIVA last year and I did it again today. It makes me feel special when I help people. In KIVA, instead of "giving" them money, you loan them money to start (or grow) their businesses. That way, instead of always needing more money, they can make their own from their business. And then they can support their families too.

Today I loaned $25 to Dilovar in Tajikistan and $25 to Con Dios Adelante Al Progreso in the Dominican Republic. Last year I loaned money to Ali is Lebanon, Margarita in the Philippines and Jose in Ecuador. Two of them have fully paid back their loans and the third is really close. He has one more payment to make.

Please loan to a person who needs you! Visit KIVA at http://www.kiva.org
