Does this mean that of the $100 mn Kiva raised in last four years, only $5 million has gone towards philanthropy or that only 5% has been directly distributed to recipients. Big difference . Please clarify and correct your posting to be clearer. I am no friend of Kiva . I am interested in substantive and accurate reporting.
