Micro Loans

Found this website www.Kiva.org it allows you to participate in helping people start their businesses or finance their business with micro finance loans. These are very small loans, couple hundred dollars to a couple grand. Kiva at this time is allowing only a 25 dollar loan from each participant. 25 dollars I spend more than this just getting dressed everyday. I think everyone can help just a little.

Didn't the guy who started this win the Nobel Peace Prize...it's genius.

this is almost the same as the Micro Loans that the Church has. This one also sounds like a good way to help others. However I think personally I would trust the church first.

exactly how do you spend $25 getting dressed every day?

So at some point you get repaid with interest?? or just hope you get repaid? hmmm maybe i just better look it up.
