If we told you that you are about to support local businesses in challenged communities by simply going along doing your regular mobile top up, you’d say it’s unlikely, right? But that’s exactly what happens automatically if you top up a mobile on November 10 on MobileRecharge.com or from MobileRecharge app.
Yes, imagine that in a matter of seconds you’ll actually help a struggling fish seller in Haiti or a group of women in Tonga with their tiny tapa business.
Zero investment on your part. Because it’s on us, on your behalf!
How is it possible to make a donation with zero money?
MobileRecharge has been supporting Kiva for a long time via MobileRecharge team members. In 2019 we made one step forward and brought the MobileRecharge community in the game too. On November 10, 2019, all top ups that went through the MobileRecharge.com platform and the app, counted as a trust vote for a future donation to Kiva from MobileRecharge, on behalf of its voting community. That simple!
Mainly because rethinking giving became a must for World Top Up Day team and fans. And solidarity is the easiest way to make dreams come true and help communities develop.
And since feedback was great among expats after the event in 2019, we decided to repeat the collective donation this year, on the same terms.

Good question! Kiva is an international nonprofit, founded in 2005 in San Francisco, that manages crowdfunding loans for ambitious people in underserved communities.
These people strive to set up a business, but don’t have financial support from the state or other entities. We’ll show you some cases below to have an idea what we’re talking about or visit KIVA yourself.
