I've been active on Kiva.org since January, 2008. Kiva.org lets you lend money to a specific entrepreneurs in the developing world - empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty.
I've created a new ehMac Kiva Team in which I'm hoping many ehMac members will join and loan money to help change lives.
To start the group off and to really kick things into gear, I've loaned $1,250 US to about 45 different entrepreneurs. You can view their individual profiles here.
Let's see if we can hit $2000 loaned by the end of tomorrow. Click here for ehMac's Kiva.org Team.
I'm on loan #75. Repayments have been excellent! I really have the feeling that this is good use of my money, as opposed to donations to organizations. Or to local street panhandlers.
Been on Kiva since Dec 2012, doing my part to help others, and I feel good when I help someone's Loan get fully funded. I am now making sure to add EhMac as my team when I Lend.
Pepsico is offer a $25 credit to anyone making a loan this week. :clap:
Go & get it.
