How Kiva Works

Every so often, I get an email like the following from Kiva, the micro loans lending network, which gives me a summary of my loan repayments to date and opens up the option of re-lending and making my money work harder. Why not give it a go? Join the club.

A total of $71.37 has been repaid today! As of March 15, 2011, you now have $80.08 in KivaCredit in your account. You can re-lend to another borrower, withdraw to your PayPal account or donate these funds to help cover Kiva’s operating expenses. Or you can use these funds to purchase a Kiva Card — a thoughtful gift for a friend.
