Empower Dreams with Kiva.org
Microloans that Make a World of Difference
Economic and Community Development
Have you ever wished you could help someone start a business, support their education, or improve their community — even from across the world?
Kiva.org makes that possible.
Through Kiva, individuals can lend as little as $25 to support entrepreneurs and underserved communities in over 80 countries.
The impact for recipients is profound: they gain access to capital that traditional banks may deny them, along with a sense of dignity, agency, and the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty. Whether it’s a woman opening a market stall in Kenya or a farmer in Peru investing in sustainable equipment, your small loan can create lasting change.
Lenders benefit too — not financially, but personally and globally. It’s a chance to connect with someone’s story, be part of their success, and promote values of equity and entrepreneurship.
With a 96% repayment rate, your funds can be loaned again and again, multiplying your impact. As Rotarians, we’re often invited to support a variety of worthy causes — all meaningful and impactful. But with Kiva.org, it’s not about donating — it’s about lending.
Your loan has a very high chance of being repaid, and once it is, you can re-lend those same funds again and again, multiplying your impact. Best of all, your Rotary club doesn’t have to lead the charge. Individuals can get involved on their own — supporting entrepreneurs, uplifting communities, and making a real difference in people’s lives around the world.
Kiva turns compassion into action — one microloan at a time.
Visit www.kiva.org to learn more or to start lending today.

Rotary Jukebox
For a small donation, your favorite musician will be featured on one of our next e-meetings for everyone to enjoy.
Every week we'll have a draw and the lucky person will see their song featured!
Dr. George Lombardi
Global Impact & Humanitarian Work
• As a tropical diseases specialist, Lombardi spent time researching schistosomiasis in Kenya in 1984.
• In 1989, he was summoned to Calcutta to help treat Mother Teresa when other doctors couldn't find the infection septic from a pacemaker catheter. He recommended its removal, after which her condition significantly improved.
• His experience with Mother Teresa was shared widely—he recounted it in an article (“Journey to Calcutta”) and as a storyteller on The Moth in “Mission to India.”
The Four-way Test
To close the meeting, Rotarian Angel recites the Four-Way Test of the things that Rotarians think, say, or do.
Thank you for joining us. We appreciate your feedback and hope you will return and invite a guest.
