Haiti’s been forefront in the news for the last several weeks. The tragedy unfolding is horrendous. The suffering unfathomable. It’s heart warming to know that so many have donated to the relief efforts, little kids giving spare change and celebrities giving millions. Average people, like you and me, giving just for the sake of giving.

Through Kiva you can choose your loan recipient. Read about how the few dollars you and others will loan to them will help them to buy much needed equipment for their small business. Buy seed to grow veggies for their market. Purchase bolts of fabric to expand a clothing shop. All of this in some of the poorest places on Earth.
Your loan will help them become self sufficient, both personally and as a community.
