Finalist Profile #20 – Kiva

Today we will be profiling the last of our BUILD finalists: Kiva What will they do with the $15,000? Kiva will fund approximately 50 loans (~$300 ea.) to global entrepreneurs. The repayments will then become donations to support Kiva’s operations which can help leverage up to $150k more in loans from the internet community. What do they do? Kiva was born of the following beliefs: • People are by nature generous, and will help others if given the opportunity to do so in a transparent, accountable way. • The poor are highly motivated and can be very successful when given an opportunity. • By connecting people we can create relationships beyond financial transactions, and build a global community expressing support and encouragement of one another.
