LCubed Kiva Team

Why Kiva and LCubed?

kiva
At LCubed our work and the web are important to us, but we recognise that there is a bigger picture, our local community and the world. We also believe that the web is changing the world for the better and we want to promote this and participate in it. The web has brought us (and our clients) success and we believe that we should be giving something back.

Concepts such as ‘The Flat Earth’ and more generally the global village are opening up the world and changing the way we work and live together. Kiva.org is a great example of this, read on to learn more about it, and perhaps join us in giving back online.

We recognise that we are staggeringly lucky to be where we are when we are, forget the GFC, our lifestyles place us in the elite of societies globally. We are able to, and should use this privilege to help others.

Kiva.org is a website and organisation that enables us to lend money to entrepreneurs globally. Generally these individuals are looking for funds to sustainably improve their lives by building their businesses. The best way to learn about Kiva and Micro-lending is to visit kiva.org and watch the video.

One amazing fact about Kiva (and micro-lending) is that almost 99% of all loans are repaid! That means that the entrepreneur has succeeded and honours the debt. It also means that when we ‘donate’ the money it works again and again and again…
