I'm a Loaner


Kiva - loans that change lives


I wanted to let all of you guys know about Kiva (www.kiva.org), a non-profit that allows you to lend money to a specific low-income entrepreneur in the developing world.

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.

So to answer the question that EVERYONE asks me... "What do you do with your money."

This is the answer.
