Vinretro Clothing Giving Back

Tis the season for cheer and giving. Vinretro Clothing believes in looking good, saving the Earth and helping others. So what better time than the holiday season to announce that from now on (continuing indefinitely) Vinretro Clothing will be donating 10% of gross receipts to Kiva. Kiva is a powerful organization that empowers local business men and women to help grow a business for their family. They team up with micro loan organizations from around the world.

Micro loans are a powerful way to fight poverty with entrepreneurship, innovation and common sense. These loans have low interest and provide opportunities to local business that would otherwise be out of reach. Through the power of business owners who passionately care about their community, we can attack poverty one loan at a time.

One of the most powerful things about these micro loans is that they have an incredibly high repayment rate - and all money repaid can then be loaned out again to another business! That means the power of banking can be used to raise a new class of pioneer and business owner and begin changing the world one community at a time.

Why are micro loans so powerful? Without these low interest opportunities, many people would be unable to grow their business and move beyond their current level of poverty. This limits the options that their neighbors and communities have in terms of available products. It also reduces the resources available to be reinvested in the community. Micro loans help break the vicious cycle by allowing options in a community to grow, prices to decrease and business to thrive.

Vinretro Clothing is a small business itself. We understand the empowerment and excitement that comes from running our business. We hope to grow and create jobs and wealth in our community - and while we work toward that goal we want to help others achieve their similar dreams.
