You can still celebrate virtually by making a loan attributed to the Kiva Pittsburgh team! (Be sure to join the team before making your loan!) Visit us online: http://www.kiva.org/team/pittsburgh Kiva is a non-profit website that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur in the US or across the globe. You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay the loan, you get your money back to lend again or withdraw. The Kiva Pittsburgh Lending team is made up of progressive Pittsburgh natives, transplants and others who love the city. Together we can lend to motivated entrepreneurs from across the globe! Together we can make a difference!! -- Make a Small Development Loan, Make a Big Difference. Easy. www.kiva.org
