My Passions: KIVA0

Can a micro loan really change someones life forever.

I was confronted with this thought at a Catalyst Lab a few years ago. At that point, I began to look into the incredible world of microfinance. I was super skeptical but the more I researched the more I was intrigued, so I got involved and began lending $25 increments. I loved hearing about the people that I was helping and following their reports back to those that loaned to them. Here are the people we have helped as a family.

I am passionate about seeing the cycle of poverty broken in people lives. This is just one of many ways to do that.  It started as an experiment and now it is part of my life.  I enjoy sitting down with my kids, reading about someone that needs help and seeing my kids eyes light up when they realize that we can help them in a huge way for $25. It is important to me and my wife to raise our kids in a home that is about others in multiple ways!! So the reach of the Schwein’s is widening.
