Principal Foundation contributed more than $200,000 to match loans made on International Women’s Day, through Kiva to support women entrepreneurs around the globe. These micro loans, which reached 4,800 women in 30 countries, provide women business owners the capital they need to fund their businesses, support their communities, and empower them to build financial security on their terms. #InvestInHer
