KIVA BREATHES LIFE INTO THE DREADED COUNTRY REPORT
Breathe some life into the dreaded Country Report. Make it meaningful by researching how to micro-lend to improve the life of another human being living in that country. KIVA.org helps connect small business entrepreneurs with those looking to lend. By researching different people living in different countries you open your eyes to real-life beyond what the encyclopedia says about the country. You learn what real people do to make money for themselves and their family and gain insight into the economics of a region. You gain perspective by comparing your understanding with what you thought you knew about the country and its people. You also gain understanding and tolerance for people who are different, living in very different circumstances. By integrating micro-lending into your Country Report you make learning real. You connect to real-communities and real-people and your research goes way beyond the encyclopedia. You can make a difference!
