Description:
Kiva.org is an innovative website that facilitates microcredit to entrepreneurs around the world. Muhammed Yunus won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for coming up with the microcredit idea and Kiva has added to it.
But, no you do not have to donate to an entrepreneur to qualify for this thing (you don't have to qualify for this thing if you don't want to anyway :) ). I just thought it was an innovative approach to community/international development and I wanted you to see it.
Hints:
- Reading the policies and operations of this group is a good example of how a lending organization should operate. Detailed information about how an organization works is always a good sign for telling that a site is trustworthy.
- Checking out the Grameen Bank might be a fun extra too.
