Have you heard of Kiva? I think it’s pretty fantastic….
Here’s what Kiva says about who they are and what they do:
We are a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world.
What an elegant and simple solution to such an enormous challenge. I hope you’ll look into it, as I have.
