A while back I tried to LOAN 25 $ dollars.... I contacted KIVA headquarters in SAN FRANCISCO, California.. They informed me that they Were NO longer accepting MONEY ORDERS because it cost them a lot of money to CASH these... Which makes want to ask COULDN'T kiva form an alliance with a bank that would NOT charge them as much for this service??...I am CURRENTLY college student WITHOUT a credit card, I Can not contribute... KIVA MUST FIND AWAY TO ACCEPT MONEY ORDERS AS DONATIONS.. |
