Sustainable Living at Vanier College
Do you want to make a difference in someone's life but just don't know how? Here is your chance to find out how you can do just that!
The International Education Office will give $50 to selected Vanier College students of any faculty, forW their chance to invest in an entrepreneur in a resource-poor country. Students should go to the website: www.kiva.org where they can read about personal stories of women and men around the world who need small loans (between typically$100 to $500) to start up or continue their business. Since the sight has so much interest, individual sponsors, like you, can only donate $25 to each entrepreneur. All the student needs to do is create a profile on the site and he/she is on their way to donating directly to that specific entrepreneur across the world! Since the money you lend is a loan, there is over a 98% chance that you will get this money back in 6-9 months, at which point you may choose to reinvest in other entrepreneurs or cash it back!
KIVA
The objective of this project is for Vanier students to support sustainable living around the world and to become involved in current international affairs.
