Kiva.org - Loans that Change Lives
October 6th, 2007 at 08:23am Eloy Zuniga Jr.
If you’re a giver check out Kiva.org Kiva allows you to give loans on a one-on-one basis. You search through a list of entreprenuers where you’ll find out details about where they live, their names, what they would like the loan for, and when they need to repay you.
An interesting twist on donating to a ’cause that takes out the ambiguity of where your money actually ends up. Kiva allows you to easily keep up with your family and find out exactly where your money is being used. Kiva does not take any of your loan for their own cause, but does allow you to donate in case you’d like to support Kiva. The members of the Kiva community can also keep journals which allows you to learn more about your contributions and the life style your new found friend.
