World Refugee Day: Meet Edi!

June 14, 2021

This Sunday, June 20, marks World Refugee Day.

What can you do to honor World Refugee Day with Kiva?

1. Support refugees in your community and around the world by lending.
2. Mark your calendar for Sunday, when we're matching refugee loans dollar-for-dollar!
3. Read refugee stories, like Edi’s (below).

Edi’s a Kiva lender just like you. And after experiencing being a refugee himself, he knows how important supporting refugees through small loans can be.
