Kiva is an organization that lends money to poor people all around the world, to alleviate poverty. The money comes from regular people like you and I, who DO NOT make anything in exchange. In other words, they lend the money and they get their money back, but with NO interests. These are people who lend their money from the goodness of their hearts, without expecting anything in exchange.
See the list? MOST of them are Americans.
And people say that Americans are bad... The US government s*cks, but the American people is made of good people.
