This Saturday, November 13th, Jonathon will end his incredible journey as he reaches the Pacific Coast off San Francisco, and he wants you to join him!

All of us at Nau think Kiva’s business model is brilliant- from the lending to the story telling, to the concise and accurate mission statement.

For us, this means telling Kiva’s story to new audiences.

In a country where the average annual income of an individual is $1,490 (about $4/day) USD, one could only imagine the need for loans that an individual from Afghanistan would need to become a successful entrepreneur.
Ariana Financial Services, Joint Stock Company (AFS), began as a partner of Mercy Corps in May 2003 with help from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. While their early operations focused on District 7 in Kabul, they... Continue Reading >>
