coolshoesatlanta Kiva Lending Team
If you receive a Kiva Gift Card...
If you receive a Kiva Gift Card, you are ready to make a loan at absolutely no cost to you. Just create a KIVA account, choose a recipient, and make a loan! To participate in our lending group, go to our page and click to JOIN TEAM. Then, when you MAKE THE LOAN, SPECIFY OUR TEAM during the checkout process. If you forget, you can email Kiva within 3 days and they can add your loan to our team total. It remains all yours... you get paid back, you administer your loan. Allowing our team to include your loan in our team total is entirely optional and has no affect on your loans. We hope that you will help us by picking a shoe business somewhere to lend to! You can add your loan to the businesses already picked in our portfolio, and help them complete their fundraising. Better yet, use the Kiva SEARCH and search on shoes... and find a business you'd like to loan to, one you feel a personal connection with. When you make your loan, don't forget to mark it for our team! |
about KIVA...
Why we do what we do We envision a world where all people - even in the most remote areas of the globe - hold the power to create opportunity for themselves and others.
We believe providing safe, affordable access to capital to those in need helps people create better lives for themselves and their families. We are a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world. Learn more about how it works. Since Kiva was founded in 2005:
"When we started with Kiva, we thought it would be fun to help tiny little shoe stores "take the next step" in growing their business. Five years later, we've helped three hundred and forty-four small businesses in sixty three countries do exactly that."
