Kiva.org – Small Loans Go a Long Way
PBS’s Frontline/World has pointed out another amazing charity that is helping people improve their lives. This time it is Kiva.org, who facilitates loans between people like you and me and people in need in third-world countries. Fantastic idea, fantastic execution.
Please watch the Frontline/World profile on Kiva.org – and if you have some money to loan, loan it.
Also check out the Kiva site, and if you have a blog, add a Kiva banner. I added a cool dynamic one to the right side of Marketing Punk - check it out.

Hi James,
Thanks for the post on Kiva. You've given your readers a chance to connect to something worthwhile, in a practical way. We've just rolled out social networking on our site. Micro-loaners can now make their profiles public, allowing others to see their loan portfolios, loan statuses and even a mini bio/pic/link to blog. Thanks also for helping to extend the shelf life of Kiva's message with the banner placement!
Regards,
Tim (volunteer with Kiva.org)
