There are many misconceptions surrounding refugees. This #WorldRefugeeDay, we invite you to challenge yours. Being a refugee is an experience, not an identity. Displaced people are small business owners, setting up restaurants, convenience stores, and other services for their new communities. They’re aspiring journalists, poets, artists, and embroiderers. They’re parents and caretakers. They’re human. But before they can start to set down roots, they need resources. Unfortunately, many traditional financial services often say “no” to lending to refugees. The Kiva community says “yes”. Do you believe that refugees deserve the resources they need to rebuild after leaving their lives behind? Help us transform the narrative. Every share of this post has the power to help us change outdated perceptions about refugees.
