Kiva South Africa
Did you ever ask yourself how you could make a positive difference in the lives of those who work hard yet just cannot make it for one reason or another – drought, sudden loss of family members or work animals, illness, floods… you name it – and who have little or no access to what is the norm in industrialized countries in terms of banking, loans and credit?
Well, I’ve found a solution I like, a solution that doesn’t distribute fish for a day but rather helps people to fish or to continue fishing – brief: I have signed up with KIVA! Click on the picture here for more information!
While noone is obliged to take this step, I decided to become a “KIVA Lender”. It means that I made my first small investment of only $25 in a loan that will definitely change lives! What I like is that the funds go directly from my PayPal to KIVA and from there 100% to the microfinance client, in my case three business women in Benin – as I found nothing on KIVA South Africa – but I love to help empower Africa’s strong and compassionate women, never mind where they are!
Kiva South Africa
After some research on Google, I found that KIVA South Africa is already pretty active – which doesn’t come as a surprise to me as micro-loans have been popular here since quite a while.
I don’t want to explain here what is beautifully presented on the website itself; therefore I invite you to check KIVA out by clicking right HERE! You will find it highly professional, serious and inspiring! What a great initiative – and so easy to support!
Why not stand together and make a difference? Yes! We CAN!
