  • This is absolutely disgusting. Kiva are essentially getting poor people into debt to Westerners.

    $250 dollars may be nothing to you or me but to an African it can be 6 months wages. This is NOT empowering these people but making them debt ridden-

    Give charity- not loans

  • Hmmm. But the field partners are being paid interest, while the kiva lender is not. Aren't these field partners are getting capitalized for practically free...?

  • Currency hedging is always a risk in international transactions, but devaluation can go the other way. There are quite a few reputable economists who predict a decline in US$ over the next decade. So what happens in that scenario?
