Dreams are universal. Opportunity is not. Through Kiva, we support women entrepreneurs living in poverty around the world. Rather than providing material goods or cash to buy them, our contributions empower women to start and grow their businesses. These businesses become reliable sources of income and create independence and opportunity for these women, their families, and their communities. We believe this approach to be the most comprehensive, sustainable, and scalable solution to global poverty.

The Gavrieli Foundation leverages the ingenuity, passion, and energy of entrepreneurial women around the globe. Since its inception, The Gavrieli Foundation has become the single largest lender on Kiva worldwide. So far we have:

contributed over $10,000,000

to over 55,000 women entrepreneurs

in over 70 countries, including the U.S.
