KIVA – Changing the world $25 at a time.
Hey guys,
Merry Christmas… it’s Christmas morning and I am up early, not to open presents as my family is back in Oz so I don’t have any to open as having a half German wife means she celebrates Chrissy on Chrissy Eve so we did this last night.
Anyway I finally got around to setting up my KIVA account. I have heard about this a year or so ago but when I met Bill Clinton he spoke about it in depth. For those of you that don’t know about them, KIVA are an organisation that arrange loans to low income earners around many of the worlds poorest nations. You simply lend $25 at a time and everything is done for you. Once the loan is paid back you can relend it out. In YPC’s case we’ll be added regularly to the total.
Anyway I have kicked off YPC’s KIVA account with $2000, the system is simple. Check it out YPC Group’s Lender Page
Feel free to get involved, I will be adding to the amount from time to time as I genuinely feel it’s a good cause, much better than just giving handouts.
Live with passion and Merry Christmas,
Brett Alegre-Wood
