We at Business Plan Master are proud of our sponsorship of Kiva. Kiva is the amazing organization that lends money in microloans to entrepreneurs throughout the world. When you contribute through Kiva, you are actually lending money, not giving it. You choose the entrepreneur(s) you want to sponsor, and lend them $25. Other people lend $25 too, until they reach the total they need, then the whole loan is disbursed.
On the "receiver" end is an organization, usually community-wide, that selects which entrepreneurs get the funding, how it is to be used, AND watch it to make sure it gets paid back. If one entrepreneur should default on a loan, the whole community jumps in and makes up the difference so that the lenders can be repaid.
Kiva has loaned out millions of dollars this way, with a 98% repayment rate. Nearly 200,000 entrepreneurs in disadvantaged countries throughout the world have had their business dreams come true. One by one their lives have been made better.
Which brings me to the most perfect Mother's Day gift I can imagine. Kiva is celebrating Mother's Day this month, with a special emphasis on Mompreneurs. How about making a loan to Kiva mompreneurs in your Mom's name? Let her know how much you respect her talents, and how you would love to see those talents reflected throughout the world.
Wow. That is something special.
