San Francisco, CA USA
Kiva's online platform allows you to make a microloan to entrepreneurs from around the world, ranging from a goat herder in Kenya to a seamstress in Peru. It is a great way to connect with the world's poor to contribute to a sustainable to alleviate poverty -- check out www.kiva.org!
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... the 60,000 individuals that have received a loan and have been able to make life better for themselves and their family.
Ways to make it better!
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... since they are resource strapped, there is not an easy way to market the great work that Kiva is doing.
