Clarus is a values-driven IT consulting firm committed existing in harmony with our social and physical environment. We value being able to control your own destiny, which is why we make microloans to people who really need some help and are less fortunate than us via Kiva. It is a hand up, rather than a hand out and these loans change lives.
Yanapiri Group - Bolivia

The loan will increase her working capital (purchase fruit), which she will sell at her stall. This form of work allows her to generate resources to support her family, as she is married with two children.

Angelica - Bolivia

Angelica lives in Chimoré, 160 kilometers from Cochabamba. She walks about selling food wherever there are many people gathered and is now considered among diners to be one of the best.

Adjoa Amoasi - Ghana

Adjoa has been selling cosmetics at Kokoado in Elmina for eight years. She is a widow and has five children and is responsible for paying her children's school fees. She hopes to use the new profits from her business to create a store for her cosmetics so that she can educate her children to the college level.  Adjoa's loan will be used to buy more cosmetics.

Tujikaze Plus… - The Democratic Republic of the Congo

Lucie, age 49, sells clothing in Lubumbashi. With this loan she has purchased a roll of fabric to make school uniforms to sell. Her business generates a profit of $400 per month. Her ambition is to someday open a drugstore in her area. She is married and the mother of five children - all of them attend school.
