1. Connection We spent 2 hours in the classroom educating students about microloans and microfinance. 200 student contact hours. We raised $50 and gave $25 to two different entrepreneurs. Our project was to create a sustainable account through the Kiva microloan website. We wanted to educate students about microfinance as well as empower them to get involved on a global scale. We encouraged students to donate a dollar to start the high school’s account. It is our hope that this account will be re-loaned to many entrepreneurs through Kiva. Impact in one week on www.kiva.org: $2,368 entrepreneurs received loans $805,350.00 lent Brunswick High School’s Kiva Account The Service group including Caitlin Fox, Kendra Wiley, and Brannon McRae presented to five BHS classes (100 students) about microloans.

We donated $25 to Eliza Stivini, a clothes seller in the Tanzanian neighborhood of Dodoma. She currently earns an average monthly profit of 95 USD.
