I just signed up using this free trial and loaned $25 of Kiva's money (they get it back, not me) to a woman who sews for a living in her small town and needs a sewing machine. I sew as a small business too, so this felt personally meaningful to me.
Anyhow, here is the invitation link. Pick someone whose life you can impact and feel great about yourself for making a difference.
From their website:
What better way to tell people about Kiva than to allow them to try it for free? From August 1, 2011 at 9:00 am PST to August 13, 2011 at 11:59 PST, Kiva will provide free trial loans to the first 4,000 new users who make a loan through an invitation or team recruit from an existing Kiva user.
These free trials will be financed by Kiva, allowing the new lender to make one $25 loan free of charge. These free trial loans are dispersed to borrowers in the same way other loans are dispersed on Kiva. However, since Kiva is funding the free trial loan, any repayment funds from the free trial loan will go back to Kiva, not to the free trial lender. New lenders invited during the promotion dates may choose to use their own funds to make a loan, in which case repayments will go back to the lender.
Supplies of free trials are limited to one (1) per new user, and will be made available on a “first invited, first claimed” basis. The sending of an invitation does not guarantee that those invited will be able to claim or use a free trial to make a loan on Kiva. We, therefore, recommend that existing users encourage invitees to accept invitations as soon as possible to maximize their chances of being able to use a free trial.
