Kiva.org

What is Kiva.org? What is the big deal about? Why should I donate $25? The answer is simple. Kiva is a non-profit organization that wants to connect people who are going through poverty. All you simply have to do is find someone in need, donate $25, and then get repaid your $25’s back.

    Some of the people who get involved in Kiva include people like Angeles, from the Philippines. She is 43 years old and she is trying to gain money for products she can sell. These products will aid in getting her 6 children to college. She has been in this business for 10 years. She sells things such as coffee, bread, candies, soft drinks, noodles, and even shampoo.

    You can also donate to help struggling youth. For example, Zeinab, in Lebanon. She is a 29 year old married woman. She would like to raise $575 dollars to pay her children’s educational fees. Since her husband is the main incomer of money, she needs to work hard to help her family.

    You can help so many people, and then you can keep donating with the money you earn back. Kiva.org helps you contribute to those who are less fortunate.
