I’d help Kiva!

Kiva is one of our favorite charities, and they are in the running to win $1 million in the Chase Community Giving contest. This contest is on Facebook – all you have to do is log in and vote. Click here! Voting ends on Friday, January 22!

We love Kiva because they support low-income entrepreneurs around the globe. Anyone with an internet connection can lend money to a basket weaver in Bangladesh or a goat farmer in Ghana. These small, micro-loans help the entrepreneurs obtain the necessary capital to launch their businesses which, in turn, enables them to escape chronic poverty. Let’s help Kiva change the world!

A note from Kiva:
“Every day Kiva connects over 3,000 people with more than 700 low-income entrepreneurs around the world. To help us expand our reach and continue doing this, we need your vote on Facebook now! Winning the Chase Community Giving challenge would enable Kiva to make critical investments in staff to strengthen and expand Kiva’s Field Partner network while building and improving the Kiva website to better educate, connect, and serve Kiva lenders. By investing in Kiva’s unique model, we can generate about $10 in loans from the internet community for every $1 of award money we spend building and improving the platform.”
