Underbanked women
Since our founding in 2005, over 80% of Kiva’s loans have gone to women. Our model drives impactful, long-standing progress toward gender equity, proven by our data and research findings.
Refugees and displaced people

Communities impacted by climate change
Social and financial inequity make the impacts of climate change worse for millions of farmers and people living in poverty conditions, highlighting the need for investment in climate-smart solutions for unbanked populations.
