The Little Give

I'm a proud Lender at http://www.kiva.org/! This is an organization that provides entrepreneurs all over the world with the opportunity to seek small but meaningful loans from people who want to help.

I made my first two loans this week and it feels really good.

“You, Too, Can Be a Banker to the Poor” “For those readers who ask me what they can do to help fight poverty, one option is to sit down at your computer and become a microfinancier. That’s what I did recently. From my laptop in New York, I lent $25 each to the owner of a TV repair shop in Afghanistan, a baker in Afghanistan, and a single mother running a clothing shop in the Dominican Republic. I did this through www.kiva.org, a Web site that provides information about entrepreneurs in poor countries — their photos, loan proposals and credit history — and allows people to make direct loans to them.” Watch the video
