Today I cashed out some of my e-rewards points that I've been stockpiling and turned them into a micro-grant through kiva.org. Kiva connects millions of people around the world through lending to alleviate poverty. As the first and largest micro-lending platform on the Internet, it enables anyone to financially empower others with loans as small as $25 in over 65 countries. To date, Kiva has facilitated nearly $400 million in loans to over 900,000 borrowers to help them start and grow businesses, improve their homes, go to school, and build brighter futures for their families. I am glad that these points can go toward something that is helping people give their lives a new story.
