KIVA

Check it out:

www.kiva.org

A place where you can LEND to specific entrepreneurs in the developing world. As they say, it empowers these people to lift themselves out of poverty. It's a unique and great way to connect with individuals from the other side of the globe, and KIVA allows you to track progress of the people you select to loan to. From banana stands, to home-run candy businesses, to home additions, to kitchen updates, to educating children, to dressmaking, to pig purchasing...minimal loans change the lives of these people. Pretty cool.
