We believe it is important for those of us privileged to live in a country like Australia to share our good fortune with others not so fortunate.
With every new website project we donate to KIVA, a not-for-profit which enables people in developing countries to access micro loans to establish or grow a business. KIVA has loaned $1.3 billion across 80 countries.
