When times are tough economically at home and across the globe, we should be hoping our dollar makes the biggest splash it can.
Here's how.
This Valentine's Day, MicroPlace, a website that enables everyday people to make investments in the world's working poor, is offering a different way for people to demonstrate their love on Valentine's Day through Invest With Your Heart, a program where people can make investments in honor of loved ones for as little as $20.
Anyone can log onto MicroPlace and invest as little as $20 "in honor of" a loved one. The honoree will receive a specially wrapped box of fair trade chocolate hearts from Divine Chocolate -- co-owned by a fair trade farming co-op of microfinance borrowers in Ghana -- along with a personalized gift card highlighting the impact of microfinance.
Because MicroPlace investors can reinvest their dollars over and over again, they can help an exponential number of the working poor lift themselves from poverty. Worldwide there are 100 million hardworking poor entrepreneurs who have benefited from microfinance while nearly 1 billion could benefit if given the opportunity. Invest With Your Heart aims to meet this need with the power of love.
Nothing says I love you like helping the working poor right?

We are broke we have been working without any future for 20 years. So when v-day comes sure we have romantic ideas but can never afford them. This V-day I huged my wife then my son and said happy Valentine's day. Then our son asked for a group hug and we did without hesitation. I told my wife thank you for being an awesome lover,friend and a great Mom. We all enjoyd cupcakes & strawberry milk. Our window had red lights and hearts. People told us our window was awesome. That was it all felt great! So you money minded people can all wish you where us LOL

What an excellent idea, micro loans to help lift people out of poverty. Since it's an ebay company, it's worldwide and lots of connections.
