Kiva - Lend for Good

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that the Kiva is a nonprofit that enables people to make loans to small business owners around the world, including in the United States. Prospective lenders can use the app (or the nonprofit's website) to browse borrowers by geography, focus area (like education or agriculture), and other descriptive categories (like mission-driven enterprises and eco-friendly loans). Loans can start at $25, and there's lots of information about prospective borrowers and their plans for using and repaying their loan. The app isn't geared toward kids, but families could use it together to explore ways to make an impact on people in need. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
