kiva has facilitated the lending and repayment of $84 million
my parents told me i could do anything...and I completely believed them
my dad and I talk ideas alot
2 things that influenced her 1) Jesus told us the poor would always be with us 2) Jesus told us that what we do for the least of these, you do for me
her passion started out vague. then she later learned about micro-finance
this is not just a loan....it is a loan with purpose and love and encouragement
amazing. loan money to someone across the world on an iPhone in less than a minute. by leveraging technology
kiva processes $5 million in micro-loans each month
kiva is a young, nimble, bold group of people
at kiva the best ideas win
a culture of trust
kiva believes in this idea of co-creation. they facilitate a community of lenders
kiva iPhone app developed by someone in the community
the mission of kiva remains central to everything they do
continue to come back to that common purpose
the church should be the safest place to bring up innovative, new ideas
i hope we never allow fear to cause us to stop taking risks
1) don't be afraid to start small
2) just start. get going
experiment. iterate.
