Money is powerful, especially in the hands of women determined to create change. In celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8, will you join us in rallying to support the dreams of 10,000 women by backing their loans?

To kick off this celebration, spread some inspiration by watching and sharing this video marking International Women’s Day.

With all the news headlines, it’s hard to know how any one of us can make a difference, but across the globe, women are taking a stand and making a difference, and right now there is a way that individuals can take action and improve the lives of thousands of women.

#IWD2018 #PressForProgress #InvestInWomen

Kiva and our global community of lenders understand the importance of supporting women, so, in this week leading up to International Women's Day, we aim to fund women's dreams and needs around the world. You choose which woman you want to support – a woman starting or growing a business, going to school, accessing clean energy or investing in her community.

Kiva.org is the world’s first and largest crowdfunding platform for social good with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. By lending as little as $25, anyone can help a borrower realize their potential. After more than 10 years, Kiva and its growing global community of 1.6 million lenders have crowdfunded nearly $950 million in microloans to 2.6 million entrepreneurs in 85 countries, with a 97% repayment rate. For more information, follow @Kiva or go to www.kiva.org.

We are incredibly thankful for the support that has enabled us to do the work that has touched the lives of so many people.

Impact:

At Kiva, we are constantly working to reach new countries and communities, with loans that better serve the needs of borrowers and their families. Kiva lenders crowdfund an average of $2.5 million in loans each week, creating a unique, renewable pool of funds that is reshaping access to financial services around the world.

Finances:

Kiva is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, based in California, with a 4 out of 4 star rating from Charity Navigator. Sustainability, transparency and efficiency are at the core of our work, our mission and our financial model.

100% of your loans go to borrowers. Kiva never takes a fee from lenders, which means 100% of the funds you lend on Kiva go to supporting borrowers’ loans. We also do not charge any interest or fees to borrowers or our Field Partners working on the ground in more than 80 countries.

Additional donations cover Kiva’s operating costs. Kiva covers operating costs primarily through the generosity of our lenders, who can choose to make donations in addition to loans. We cover more than two-thirds of our operating costs through these voluntary donations from Kiva lenders. The remainder of our costs are covered through grants and donations from foundations and supporters.

This model of fundraising helps promote sustainability, by keeping our fundraising costs low and tapping into the power of the crowd to help cover our costs.

Awarded for effectiveness and efficiency
Kiva's staff and volunteers work hard to ensure every dollar donated to Kiva is used efficiently, and we’ve received recognition for our commitment.
