Canvas for Karma
We wanted to let you know about Kiva (
www.kiva.org), a non-profit that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur across the globe. We have been contributing a portion of our profits for over a year now. It's a really amazing way to help entrepreneurs around the globe.
You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. It’s a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.
We distribute a portion of our profits through Kiva micro loans, and then as our loans are repaid we then re-dsitribute the funds to new entrepreneurs. This is really great way directly help many people, many times over. We encourage you to do the same...you'll be glad you did.
Cheers,
The Printed Canvas Staff.
