Today's news:
Yesterday I took out the 25 USD I had in my Project Wonderful account (that's the company through which I run the few ads on this side) and moved them over to Kiva to loan them to a woman in Peru so she can buy goods for her store.
I'll quote from their site, they probably explain it better than I could:
Kiva is a non-profit organisation that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur across the globe.
You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. It’s a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.
