Kiva, Loaning to the Working Poor

Lifting people out of poverty through www.kiva.org/

Kiva is a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through loans for the sake of alleviating global poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help fund small businesses run by low-income entrepreneurs in developing countries around the world, empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty.

Loans made on Kiva.org are 0% interest loans and have a historical repayment rate of 96%. You can make loans to an entrepreneur of your choice from a range of countries using PayPal (with no fees). Make a small loan, make a big difference!
