Living in a globalised world needs globalised social responsibility! That’s why I support Kiva.org in helping to fund entrepreneurs in Southeast Asia (e.g. Cambodia, Viet Nam) and Central/South America (e.g. Dominican Republic, Paraguay). On the – at least for me very exciting - occasion of the official launch of ecotox consult’s website I will expand my commitment at Kiva.org:
25 US$ will be invested at Kiva.org for each RSS news feed subscription at www.ecotox-consult.de. So, don’t miss to subscribe to the RSS news feed!
Do you know Kiva.org?
Kiva.org is a non-profit organisation that provides a platform for internet users to lend money to microfinance institutions in emerging and developing countries around the world. These so-called local field partners lend the money to entrepreneurs in their local area. The Kiva lenders themselves do not receive any interest for their invested money.
Of course the Kiva system has to face criticism especially concerning the more or less fictional donor-to-borrower connections or the interest rates that are charged to the borrowers - not by Kiva but by the local microfinance institutions. Read more about these criticisms at the New York Times and David Roodman's Microfinance Blog.
However, I love the idea behind Kiva.org which is to improve the access of small entrepreneurs in emerging and developing countries to the capital market.
