Supporting Kiva

I tried to find a way to support the people in the countries I visit. I was looking for an organization where they help people a step further in life with investments in their businesses or education.

What is Kiva?

Kiva loansMy friend Henny from Holland has sent me an e-mail in 2013;  I never forgot that one. It was a Kiva coupon to invest in businesses around the world for people who need it. Like a farmer in Myanmar, a shop owner in Bolivia or a student in the Philippines. With the micro credit from Kiva they can make more money out of their business or a better job when they finish school.

” Loans that change lives “

Kiva is for me the right platform to support projects I can choose. For every new country on my world trip (I’ve never been before) I’ll add $25 to my Kiva account and support entrepreneurs or students around the world who need it.

When there is a project in the country, I visit I’ll support a project in that country. When there is no project, I’ll support another project in the world. Countries visited: China, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Singapore and Australia* New Zealand.

*Every month since I started traveling in 2014 I supported Kiva with $25.

Total in my Kiva account.

98x $25 = $2450 (plus some extra, when I saw some nice loans)

As they pay back as well, I’m able te reinvest in other loans to make it compounding, therefor in the last 8 years I was able to make 1300+ loans.

Some people are not rich they only have money.

Hopefully, I can visit a lot of countries and support Kiva!
