Are you looking for a creative, unique and giving-type of gift for this holiday season?
Maybe you want to send your clients something beyond a fruit basket?
Or looking to teach your kids about giving back, along with some geography, small business principles and/or understanding how different people live?
Meet Kiva! Microlending for people in developing countries, people who are working to help themselves out of poverty – to make their lives and their kids’ lives better.
I’ve been an enthusiast lender on Kiva.org for a while. (Click here to see the loans I’ve done.) I often do the loans along with my children, and they help me select which loans to fund.
It’s a thrill to know you are helping someone else, halfway around the world!
Here’s a great, short video to explain how Kiva works:
BTW, Kiva has Charity Navigator’s Highest Award.
If you do a loan on Kiva, or give a gift card – drop me a line and let me know!
