World Salts — Gourmet Salts & Charity Gift Idea

Support entrepreneurs while savoring global flavors.

For each World Salt Kit sold, we loan $25 to Kiva to support low-income entrepreneurs around the world. To date, we’ve donated over $25,000, funding nearly 1,000 loans in 75 countries. When loans are paid back, we re-lend through Kiva, multiplying your impact. This has become one of our best-selling holiday gifts, and you’ll love it too!
