Review for Kiva, San Francisco, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a Vietnam veteran. Kiva allows me to lend money to ordinary people in Vietnam. It helps them to improve their lives -- it helps me make amends for the war. Kiva has a conference call once a month to let us lenders ask questions and give input and feedback. Micro-finance is truly people helping people. For more information, go to www.kiva.org.
