Kiva.org was founded upon the fundamental principle that connecting people through lending can help alleviate poverty. To ensure that it succeeds, the
company, along with its user base, provides borrowers with the seed capital needed to generate income, and thereby live a life of sustainability and independence. So far, this approach has enabled Kiva to raise 410+ million for 995,111+ entrepreneurs in 67 countries, momentum which it looks to
continue in the coming years as it positions itself to achieve $1 billion in loans across a variety of sectors by 2017.
