Microloans

I just wanted to tell about something I saw on FRONTLINE WORLD the other night. It was amazing. It is called KIVA and they set up funding for microloans to business people in Uganda. The loans are for small amounts of money (to us in the US) and everyday people can go online and agree to fund the loans for the business people.

It is just AMAZING! Their server has been down since the program aired, but I encourage people to check it out. It is www.kiva.org.
