My Kiva Loans
Since 2020, I’ve been a member of the Kiva community. Kiva is a non-profit organisation that provides bridges the gap between lenders and individuals who lack access to traditional financial services.
During the last 4 years, my focus has been on lending to women-led businesses, acknowledging their critical role in driving community development. By prioritising aid to areas lacking in gender equality, I strive to support and help establish environments that nature and empower these outstanding entrepreneurs.
My participation in Kiva has led me to investment in projects that yield both economic growth and social improvements.
Alongside my fellow Kiva supporters, I am committed to promoting equality and sustainable development in underrepresented regions, contributing to the foundation of more hopeful future.
