Use the Kiva business card to change the life of a business owner in a developing country.

Kiva lets you lend to a specific entrepreneur in the developing world – empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty.

Hi there,

I wanted to let you know about Kiva (www.kiva.org), a non-profit that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur in the developing world. We support Kiva and I hepe you will too.
 
You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back.  It’s a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.
