ProTraining.com™ Partners with Kiva.org for it's 2007/2008 CorporateGiving Program

We are pleased to have selected Kiva.org as our corporate charity. ProTraining.com has donated a fullly turn-key online training website, where Kiva.org Fellows can take the valuable training required to perfom their volunteer duties. Kiva.org has been recognized as the World's leader in using the internet to connect people, through lending, for the sake of alleviating poverty.

Kiva.org was born of the following beliefs:

  • People are by nature generous, and will help others if given the opportunity to do so in a transparent, accountable way.
  • The poor are highly motivated and can be very successful when given an opportunity.
  • By connecting people we can create relationships which exceed beyond financial transactions, and build a global community expressing support and encouragement of one another.

Kiva.org promotes:

  • Dignity:   Person-to person lending encourages partnership relationships as opposed to benefactor relationships. Partnership relationships are characterized by mutual dignity and respect.
  • Accountability:   Loans encourage more accountability than donations where repayment is not expected.
  • Transparency:   The Kiva.org website is an open platform where communication can flow freely between the developing and developed worlds.
