One of the things I like the most about Kiva is their ability to help transform lives through hope, not just money. The concept of micro-credit and its ability to provide a hand up with dignity is a program that HarmonyWishes is proud to support.

This month to celebrate Kiva’s 5th birthday, the Omidyar Network has provided a grant to help spread the word about Kiva. If you, as a lender, get five of your friends to make a loan on Kiva, they will provide a $25 credit to your account – how cool is that! There’s less than a week left to take advantage of this challenge grant, so head on over to Kiva and get started. Here’s a quick link for you: Kiva Challenge

Here’s a great video by Kieran Ball on Kiva and the loan process. Take a look:

Happy Birthday Kiva!

It’s no secret that HarmonyWishes has a soft spot for Kiva – the microfinance organization that lends money around the world. We use a portion of our proceeds to make loans to people all around the globe. Here are just a few:

We would love it if you would join our lending team and help us spread good will, good fortune and support to provide a dignified means of lifting people up out of poverty. It’s simply good karma. Just click on our link to find us at Kiva: HarmonyWishes Lending Team
