WEDDING RESOURCES
Charities
Kiva
Here at Bellisima Bridal we support a number of charities--especially those that support women and children. So, we wanted to let you know about Kiva (www.kiva.org), a non-profit that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur across the globe.
You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a seamstress/tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. It's a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.
For couples planning their weddings, there is also the opportunity to set up your wedding as a "team" or "event" people lend on behalf of. Kiva even gives you the chance to forward trial loans to your guests for free..and those loans (which are provided from matching funds) can be used to support entrepeneurs and perhaps some of your guest will provide additional loans--all of which can be tracked to your wedding. To check it out, and get your trial loan, click here:
