Proving that microloans can help to change the world one little bit at a time, Kiva.org hit a major milestone today. Since it’s founding four years ago, it has now made possible $100 million in microloans between individual lenders and entrepreneurs all around the world. The company has brought together 573,000 lenders (people like you and me putting in $25 or more towards a specific project), and 239,000 entrepreneurs.

I have made 4 loans through Kiva. And so far, they have been paid back. As the money gets paid, I reloan it to another.
I think this is a good way to help people from all over. You get to chose what country, and what person/business you wish to help.
Yeah for Kiva - 3 months ago
