Dick Moore has set up IT People Supporting Real World Development on the Kiva web site, through which you can make a small or large repayable loan to a small entrepreneur in the developing world. I'd already made a loan in December and I've now joined the group. So far there are nine eight seven six five two of us. Currently, with over USD 50m raised and lent (astonishing, eh?), Kiva again has a large range of projects looking for support.
We now have a team of five and about $200 in loans out there helping do real development. Even if you are not interested in this project, it is worth looking at this application. Any website that can raise $66 million via voluntary contributions is doing something right.
