An Update on KIVA

Thanks to you, Westside has been able to loan over $700 to small business owners in the Dominican Republic!

Through KIVA, the loose coins and small bills that you drop in the change bucket on Sunday mornings are being put to good use. We have contributed to ten different loans. Three are already in repayment status. As they are repaid, we are able to fund new loans.

KIVA has a 97% repayment rate and, through 1.8 million lenders, has loaned over $1.4 billion dollars in 77 countries. Visit KIVA.org to learn more.
