The Kiva Lending Map

The Kiva Lending Map is a web application that displays an interactive map of KIVA loan lending. Loans display within a popup window after users click on a country on the map. The popup displays limited information about the borrower. The user has the ability to utilize the 'learn more' feature to gain additional information about the borrower. With this information, the user then has the option to financially support the borrower on the KIVA website using the 'lend here' button.
