Lending the Kiva Way

It’s the season of giving and we are all thinking of ways to give back to our community or to others.  Have you ever thought about lending money to others in order for them to start their own business or improve on their business.  You don’t have to be with an investment company in order to provide others with business capital.  How about lending to people in third world countries in order to alleviate poverty.  With the help of Kiva, you can do it all and easily.

Kiva is an organization that allows individuals to invest in the businesses of individuals in underdeveloped countries.  You can invest under your name or your companies name.  Each person that you invest with is an actual person either starting a business or increasing their business.  These people are working toward financial independence or increasing the life of their families.  You can easily start to invest in people with certain qualities that you like.  You can invest in one person or  many, all around the world who need your help.  If you or your company are looking for a way to give back, think about lending through Kiva.

Kiva is the first person-to-person lending program with many options on how you lend to others and how you lend to.  Each person that requires lending has a profile page that allows you to vet them and check on how they have repaid their previous loans.  Kiva will give you a time frame of when you can expect receiving your original investment back.  They provide email updates to show you how much has been repaid back to you along with many other important updates.  This is not a place where you are just giving money with no return, you are lending to help others succeed in breaking out of poverty.  Think of the good PR that this will provide to your company along with the feeling of helping someone who really needs it.  Do good this season and all year long with helping others, so lend money to others in need with Kiva.
