{giving} Empower People around the World with a $25 Loan

Today I’m excited to share with you a new way to give.  The organization is called Kiva, have you heard of it?  Watch this short video (it’s only a minute long!) to find out more about how it works: 


How Kiva Works from Kiva on Vimeo.

This is Aidah.  She is from Uganda.  Married with three children, she has managed a retail business for eleven years.  She requested a loan to purchase more food in order to expand her business and increase her profits. 

I don’t know about you, but don’t you think she has the greatest smile?  I was instantly drawn to her story and couldn’t wait to help a fellow Mamma.  My $25 was combined with others around the world and just like that, her loan was funded and her dreams are so much closer to coming true!

I think this non-profit organization is amazing.  I love that by December, she will have fully repaid the loan and I’ll be able to help fund another.   You can find more about Kiva here.

Just a reminder that the Mamma Support Swap is open until Friday, so be sure to sign up!  You can find more information here.
