Wiser on Wednesday - KIVA


Kiva - loans that change lives

 Good Morning!
  I wanted to let you know about Kiva (www.kiva.org), which is a non-profit that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur anywhere in the world! (the internet is soooo amazing!)
  The Kiva system allows you to choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. It's a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.   Check it out! and then pass it on!

Please post a comment (now or later) if and/or when you participate. I'm excited about this and would like to know. -thanks! Here's my choice - http://www.kiva.org/invitedby/ryuwji9919/for/436338
