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 $437 million in loans for 1,051,000+ entrepreneurs in 68 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 2015.Headquartered in San Francisco, Kiva is an innovative 501(c)3 non-profit internet organizationp that has a rare opportunity for dramatic growth and profound systemic impact.
