Vittana
Vittana's mission is to graduate a generation beyond poverty through the power of education.
They enable anyone with $25 to lend directly to ambitious students in the developing world. When you lend, 100% of your money goes directly to the students and more than 99% of students repay their loans upon graduation.
Vittana exists because, in many places, student loans do not. Even when there is a demand for skilled workers, millions of students in the developing world find it impossible to save for higher education. In many cases they are kept from their dreams by only a few hundred dollars.
Our lenders empower students to fulfill those dreams and lift themselves out of poverty. After graduation, the average Vittana student triples their earning power. In practice, this means a girl who was selling food on the side of the road now knows how to give vaccinations and goes from living on $3 a day to $9 a day.
Vittana works with carefully selected partners in more than a dozen countries. These partners work to find students who are motivated to continue their education and they help to prepare them for success.
