$200 to Kiva.org To-Date

Kiva.org is an organization which puts microloan money in the hands of microfinancing institutions (mini-banks) all over the world. With a credit card or Paypal bank account, you can loan a small amount of money to someone who needs it to open/run a business, build a home, expand their enterprise, or make a better life. To date, I have loaned $200 to people all over the world, and they are on schedule to pay it all back, $25 at a time over the next 12 months. It might not seem like a lot, but those $200 have done a lot of good... And I don't miss that money at all, especially when it's doing good work and not being spent on needless things. Check them out at kiva.org or my lender page.
