Kiva Anmeldelser 

I've made these loans for years. Repayment is slow, but these are small-time borrowers and that's to be expected. I always roll it over and make another loan.

Being able to select those you wish to loan to by gender, country, and occupation really helps relate to those who are receiving the benefits. Having news when they are paying off the loan gives a sense that you’ve done something to really help them.

I have been using Kiva for many years, and I find the site easy to use and very informative about the people I might loan to.
I loan exclusively to women, and I have never had a borrower default on her loan.
As the payments add up in my account I turn around and re-loan to another woman.
It makes me feel so good to know that I’m helping a woman improve her business and support her family and her community.

Kiva is easy, fun, inexpensive, and does incredible good in communities around the world. Kiva is in the "Empowerment Business." By helping people all over the world to start and/or expand their small business also helps each and every community within which Kiva loans are working.

Helping people in diverse countries and cultures get a hand up not a handout

I am easily able to fund individual projects and help people in my chosen region and field. I like getting information when the loan is being paid off. I also like that I get incentives to make additional donations. I feel that a little of my money is going a long way towards helping others. I am very satisfied with Kiva and highly recommend it to others.

Kiva makes a big difference. It is effective in its mission and changes lives for the better.

I have been a Kiva lender since 2014. Kiva provides me with the opportunity to learn about individuals across the globe, their challenges, their dreams, their eagerness to improve their livelihoods and gives me the ability to make an impact with my donation.

I really like the platform and concept and have lent money to people all over the world making me feel like I am having a somewhat positive impact.

However I was recently sent an email offering lending credit in exchange for a donation. When I donated I got a message essentially saying "sorry, we've pulled that promotion now" which I see as deeply insulting. I'll continue to lend the credit I have on the platform but it has left a sour taste in my mouth.

Been with Kiva for many years. Helped provide a better life for many people worldwide. Try it you will be a better human.

Maravillosa manera de ayudar pudiendo escoger dónde y a quién. Llevo años y seguiré.

Kreditgeber und Kreditnehmer sind über Kiva im 1:1 Austausch und der volle Betrag geht direkt an den Kreditnehmer.

Kiva provides great information up front about how their programs work and the associated costs to the lender. I love that I have the ability to review all loan requests or filter them to suit my interests. I feel confident that Kiva is working with their lending partners to make the most of the micro-loan monies I can provide, and I don’t feel pressured to spend more than I’m comfortable with.

I have been a Kiva member for 10 years. The fact that your $25 is available over and over again to reinvest is the big plus.

Very easy & enjoyable experience. It is great to know where your donation goes.

Kiva is an awesome organization. It gives small donors and borrowers the opportunity to provide and receive funding between people who otherwise could probably not otherwise participate in access to funding. The minimum loan commitment for individual lenders is $25. This makes it possible to participate at a level that fits their budgets, and to chose borrowers that inspire them to lend.

I feel so good inside knowing I'm helping people who don't have much money realize their dreams for having a better life

Kiva makes it easy to make a difference in deserving peoples lives by pooling your modest loan with others to attain a lending goal. By relenting the repaid loans you can touch other lives as well.

It is a privilege to be able to contribute by investing and supporting people directly to follow their dreams and aspirations
