Kiva Microlending


I'm currently doing some reading and research about microfinance and found Kiva, a website that matches individual lenders with entrepreneurs that want to get a loan.
I like the site because it's pretty grass roots but also seems to be well-administered and well-thought-out. It also has a lot of entrepreneurs in Honduras and Nicaragua, which are near and dear to my heart. I've made a $25 loan to the person pictured here. I encourage everyone to look into Kiva.
