What our lending community thinks
Being able to lend, then get repaid, and lend over and over again gives great satisfaction. My funds have been lent 12 times over.

Kiva lender
Just made my 11th loan to a single mother in Nicaragua. Constantly blown away by the impact from the same $25 being lent over and over again.
