Campus Kiva brings micro-lending to a whole new level: giving students the opportunity to play a direct role in changing lives. The mission of Campus Kiva is to educate students about the potential impact of microfinance and to encourage micro-lending through Kiva's Lending Teams.

Through an international network of university chapters, Campus Kiva provides students with the perfect avenue to channel their desire to make a difference. Campus Kiva provides its chapters with the infrastructure and resources they need to establish a permanent presence on campus, and offers a variety of opportunities to participate in activities and competitions, while encouraging intra-university collaboration.

Campus Kiva officially launched in the fall of 2008 at 20 university campuses world-wide. Campus Kiva now has over 60 registered chapters and is continuing to grow.
