Connection

Over two hours, we educated 200 students about microloans and microfinance, raising $50 to support two entrepreneurs via the Kiva platform. By encouraging students to donate, we aim to create a sustainable account for future loans. In just one week, our Kiva account helped entrepreneurs receive $2,368 in loans, significantly contributing to local economies. We assisted Felicia Ackah and Eliza Stivini with their business goals, showcasing how microfinance can empower individuals globally and inspiring students to engage in social entrepreneurship.
