Remember Kiva? The organization that makes loans to small businesses all over the world? Last year, Westsiders generously contributed towards funding 10 loans to persons in the Dominican Republic.
As those loans are being paid off, we are able to re-invest the money.
This week, you invested in two small businesses here in the United States which are struggling due to the pandemic.
Joy (https://www.kiva.org/lend/1956803) owns Coffee Connection, which hires and trains women in recovery.
Theresa (https://www.kiva.org/lend/1957539) owns Creative Kind, an outlet which financially supports dozens of local craftspeople.
Read more at the links above. Then spread the word about Kiva. It’s possible you know a small business owner who could benefit — or someone who could help others.
