Kiva

Some time ago, I wrote about Kiva, an organization that lets you invest in individuals around the world who are trying to feed their families and have a working wage. It's so much like Womenade in that you can select the person you'd like to help, and he/she can pay you back...so you can invest in someone else all over again! As little as $25.00 can help someone become independent.

Here are some Kiva facts: 35 months old, raised over $42,000,000, 98% repayment rate, 83,294 entrepeneurs helped, and 144 countries represented. You can even give Kiva gift certificates to your friends, so they can pick people to help!
