Did you know we are a social business?
We're still a for-profit marketing agency.
That means that the core of our business will always remain focused on delivering amazing results for our clients.
But, every time we onboard a new client, an entrepreneur in a developing country receives a micro-loan through Kiva's lending platform.
A loan of $3,350 helped a member of the Mujeres Valientes, or "Brave Women," to purchase a variety of ice cream flavors to sell.
Our mission is to support 10,000 entrepreneurs and reach the $1,000,000 mark by 2025

WHY KIVA?
We’ve all heard the proverb “Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime”.
What often happens with charity is that it leads to dependency rather than empowerment.
Lending through Kiva, on the other hand, takes the whole “Teach a Man To Fish” one level further because it does not assume we know better than the local entrepreneurs.
There is no “teaching” involved, just simple empowerment.
And we believe in empowering people around the world by supporting them in their entrepreneurship that can be created by normal everyday people who have chosen to contribute – small or big.
We believe elevating and empowering humanity is key. By helping the world, we not only help ourselves, but also contribute to something greater than ourselves — that’s what brings true fulfillment.
