Your money is ALWAYS your money! But when you join the ChangeU lending team at Kiva, you are helping bring attention to the efforts of Change University in making a difference in the world. Make sure that you join the Change University lending team before you make a loan.
In case you do not know what Kiva is, here is a little synopsis from their website:
Kiva is an international nonprofit, founded in 2005 and based in San Francisco, with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. We celebrate and support people looking to create a better future for themselves, their families and their communities.
By lending as little as $25 on Kiva, anyone can help a borrower start or grow a business, go to school, access clean energy or realize their potential. For some, it’s a matter of survival, for others it’s the fuel for a life-long ambition.
100% of every dollar you lend on Kiva goes to funding loans. Kiva covers costs primarily through optional donations, as well as through support from grants and sponsors.
