Sustainable DevelopmentSustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The three key dimensions of economic, social and environmental sustainability can be seen in many Kiva Friends discussions as well because, at a most fundamental level, Kiva is about sustainable development. Sustainable economic development for the entrepreneurs, Field Partners and Kiva itself are core elements of the Kiva lending model. Themes like social entrepreneurship and social impact can be found among the topics. Many discussions at Kiva Friends also touch upon green and other environmentally sound ways to to help alleviate global poverty. KF Search or Google for terms like "sustainable" and "sustainability" to show many more comments within several other discussions not listed here.

Fundraising DrivesKiva-related fundraising drives are quite popular with Kiva Friends. Of course, most of these activities are related to funding Kiva Entrepreneur loans. They may be related to ongoing shopping and affiliate programs, short-terms drives with a specific theme, and efforts to support specific entrepreneurs. Some fundraising drives go beyond funding loans and involve additional donations, such as to Kiva, its Field Partners, or entrepreneurs and their families to help meet an identified need.
