Kiva - Loans that Change Lives

October 19th, 2007 by Marion

This morning the team was chatting about the internet and social marketing. Sarah and Matt had gone to a gathering on Monday night where the speaker was talking about internet fundraising. One of the most impressive examples I know is Kiva.org. Kiva lets you connect and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world through mirco-lending. I have loaned to funds to micro-entrepreneurs in Azerbaijan, the Ukraine and Mexico. Kiva.org features a great video of a New York Times reporter who visited his lending beneficiary in Kabal.
