Kiva
Lend as little as $25 to create a more equitable world.
Kiva is the world's first online microlending platform that connects lenders with entrepreneurs and individuals in need around the globe. For as little as $25, anyone can fund a loan to help a borrower start or grow a business, and repaid funds can be relent to help additional people. The platform focuses on underserved communities and those lacking access to traditional credit.
Lenders contribute as little as $25 toward borrower loan requests on the platform; as loans are repaid, lenders can withdraw or relend their funds to support more people.
