Kiva - Loans that change lives
Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world. The people you see on Kiva's site are real individuals in need of funding - not marketing material. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get your loan money back, you can relend to someone else in need.
Cope
COPE, in partnership with the local service, is the only provider of prosthetic, orthotic and mobility devices in Laos. These devices can really make a difference but people also need rehabilitation to ensure that they are effective. Our vision is a high quality, holistic rehabilitation service which is locally staffed and free to those who cannot afford to pay. We are working hard to put in place innovative ways of securing funding so that the service will be here for the long term. Be part of a global network to help!
