  5. Kiva operates on the principle of microloans Started in March 2005 in Uganda when 7 business were posted on the website requesting a total of $3,500. Six months later every loan had been repaid. This experience proved it was possible to lend to the poor over the Internet. “Entrepreneurs” request loans through in-country partners Kiva lenders (you and me) donate $25 to one or more entrepreneurs Entrepreneurs receive funds, establish/ expand their business and eventually repay the loans Once the loan is repaid, the lender can ask to be repaid or relend to another entrepreneur WWW.KIVA.ORGDoes actually require money, BUT you can get it back it you wish Kiva has recently been highlighted in Bill Clinton’s book, Giving, and on Oprah. As a result, thousands of new members have loaned monies and funded all entrepreneurs. More entrepreneurs are being added daily.

  6. Website contains lots of info on: • in-country partners • repayment rates, loan default rates (less than .2% overall) • local factors affecting repayments such as crop failures, widespread disease (e.g., HIV/AIDS), • national factors such as large currency devaluation, or political instability, or natural disasters
