But for many local entrepreneurs who dream of starting their own businesses, options for accessing capital are limited. These entrepreneurs are among the vast number of financially excluded individuals in the U.S. who are then unable to launch or grow their ideas.

Through direct lending on Kiva, supporters of Puerto Rico entrepreneurs can help local communities shape their future and achieve economic mobility.
