Arbita™ Gives Thanks (and Money) Through Kiva.org
Minneapolis, MN November 21, 2006 - Arbita™, the leading provider of global jobs cross posting solutions, is pleased to announce its commitment to invest one percent of its annual profits through Kiva.org. Kiva.org is a not for profit organization based in San Francisco, California that uses microfinance to empower small businesses around the world. By creating a unique network of lenders and borrowers, Kiva.org has provided entrepreneurs in impoverished countries with a single access point for small loans that will help them grow their businesses.
"After an astonishing year of global business development we looked for a meaningful way to thank the many customers, partners and friends who have contributed to our success," said Arbita's CEO, Don Ramer. "Over the last year our business has grown considerably," Ramer continued. "Returning a portion of our profits to the global community we serve by providing investment capital to small businesses in emerging countries is good for everyone."
About Kiva.org
Kiva provides a data-rich, transparent lending platform to the poor. Kiva.org allows individuals to make $25 loans to low-income entrepreneurs in the developing world (microfinance). By doing so, they provide affordable working capital for the poor (money to buy a sewing machine, livestock, etc.), empowering them to earn their way out of poverty.
Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can "sponsor a business" and help the world's working poor make great strides towards economic independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the business you've sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back. We encourage you to visit Kiva.org and make a difference in someone's life.
