For more than a decade, Sts. Clare & Francis has been in partnership with Kiva, a micro-lending non-profit. Kiva helps individuals all over the world with direct support for projects like building bathrooms and other home sanitation projects. Kiva also helps small business owners expand their enterprises through purchasing additional livestock or seeds, improving irrigation, purchasing supplies, etc.
The money we lend through Kiva is repaid by the borrower, and then lent again to another borrower. Since we started partnering with Kiva, we have funded more than $67 thousand in loans to 514 individuals in 60 countries. WOW!!
If you would like to be part of this ministry that is literally changing lives around the world, please reach out to the church office.
