Over 229K @HPE + @HP employees have made @Kiva #microloans through the #MattertoaMillion partnership! Thanks for celebrating our 5-year anniversary w/ us @premal: hpe.to/6009D487f #HPEGives
Just announced at #UNGA, @Kiva partnering with Sierra Leone & @UN agencies to help provide #unbanked Sierra Leone citizens a digital identity and control over their own credit information - kiva.org/protocol #financialinclusion
Heads up on an interesting @Kiva project that risks going unfunded. Land rights formalization is key to reducing poverty, helping low-income families protect & lever the biggest asset they own -- their home. You can help make land titles more affordable kiva.org/lend/1470169
Imagine how good it'd feel if our generation delivered equality of access across gender, race & more. Proud that >80% of @Kiva loans go to women; still working to do more, including a new Kiva.org/IWD campaign in solidarity with #InternationalWomensDay2018 #InvestinHer xitter.cf/Kiva/status/9696676510…
When women gain access to capital, they are able to pursue their own goals, gain a voice in household & community decisions, and create employment opportunities for other women. Help us invest in 10,000 women this week at kiva.org/IWD. #PressForProgress #InvestInWomen
Tens of millions sit idle in @Kiva lender accounts and could be put to good work sooner. Thanks @rossjamesparker for coming back and re-lending your credit. Big fan of how #GivingTuesday builds awareness of the thousands of ways we can give a little something back... xitter.cf/rossjamesparker/status…

The use of force may control people physically, but it won’t change their hearts and minds. You can only do that on the basis of trust and friendship.
Looking forward to sharing @Kiva story on how we use @SalesforceOrg to combat poverty thru global connectedness #Dreamforce2017

Been listening to PBS NewsHour every night. Finding it to be the most measured in reporting. No sensationalism. This is especially great: xitter.cf/newshour/status/898001…
To say they have different worldviews is an understatement, but these 2 men have agreed to work on racial tensions. to.pbs.org/2fMnxpI
