Summer 2007 - Los Angeles, CA
Wickham's Stickems, LLC is proud to announce their association with Kiva.org, the first person-to-person micro-lending web site that enables an individual to finance a micro-entreprenuer in the developing world.  Kiva.org has become known as the 'merger between Microfinance and Web 2.0' due to its ability to create a transparent, connective and affordable option for anyone on the Internet to lend directly to small businesses in developing countries.Launched in October 2005, Kiva's goal is to reduce poverty in these countries by giving entreprenuers the ability to build their businesses through flexible loans. Kiva is a 501(c)3 non profit organization that receives free payment processing from PayPal so that 100% of loan funds can reach the micro-entrepreneur and 100% can be repaid to the Internet lender. In the spirit of global entreprenuership, Wickhams Stickems, LLC has sponsored a business in the Ukraine and in Tajikistan. |
