The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Kiva was founded in 2005 by Matt and Jessica Flannery. They built a microfinance lending platform. The innovation was simple and radical: connect small lenders worldwide to borrowers in developing countries. A farmer in Kenya could borrow fifty dollars from a teacher in Ohio. This direct connection, this human face on poverty, changed lending forever. Kiva grew across continents and languages. Today the platform operates in dozens of countries. It has facilitated billions in loans to millions of borrowers. The brand ranks among the top thirty in Tools, DIY & Home Improvement category across 6649 tracked brands. Kiva proved that ordinary people could be bankers. Money moved. Lives changed. The work continues.
