I think Kiva is a really interesting and great non-profit. Their efforts are helping people all over the world become successful due to the generosity of it’s members.
Once you make a loan, you will see progress updates from Kiva through your
e-mail. As the borrower repays the loan, the money becomes available in your account. You can then fund another loan, donate it to Kiva or withdraw it for something else. There is a 98.87 repayment rate for ended loans.
I joined the Milepoint Kiva Lending Team recently. Milepoint has been deeply involved in Kiva and has made a huge impact with it’s efforts.
Here are some stats about the impact of Milepoint:
- Number of Team Members: 584
- Number of Loans: 32,016
- Number of Loans Per Member: 54.8
- Total Amount Loaned: $1,510,875
If you are thinking of joining Kiva, why not join the Milepoint team?
