About Kiva

When users browse entrepreneurs' profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, users are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), users can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when users get their loan money back, users can relend to someone else in need.
