Microfinance and Social Responsibility: The impact of tt group with Kiva
In today’s world, companies can no longer limit themselves to generating profit: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an essential component for a sustainable and inclusive future.
At tt group, we firmly believe that every business has both the duty (and the opportunity) to contribute positively to collective well-being.
For this reason, since 2011, we have been proud to be part of Kiva’s business group, a non-profit organization operating globally to provide real opportunities for people living in poverty through microfinance.
What is Kiva.org
Kiva allows anyone, anywhere in the world, to make small loans (starting from just $25) to support work and development projects in disadvantaged communities.
A simple, transparent and extremely powerful system: because even a modest amount can make a huge difference in someone’s life.
Welcome to Kiva
Our contribution: over $15,000 of trust in the future
Since joining the Kiva network, tt group has contributed more than $15,000 in microloans, supporting hundreds of entrepreneurial initiatives in sectors that are critical for the growth of local economies:
- Agriculture: 175 loans
- Food: 107 loans
- Retail: 68 loans
- Education: 65 loans
- Housing: 39 loans
- Services: 36 loans
These numbers are not just statistics: they represent dreams, work and hope for hundreds of people.
Each loan, however small, helps to build a fairer and more sustainable economy, turning every dollar into a seed of change.
Supporting women’s empowerment
We are particularly proud that 59% of the loans granted have been directed to women entrepreneurs.
Investing in women means strengthening entire communities: women tend to reinvest their income into family well-being and children’s education, creating a lasting and multiplying impact.
