I was watching the news tonight and watched a segment on a website called Kiva. The company has a simple mission:
Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs around the globe.
Simply put. People who are looking to start a business can go to the site and sell themselves and their business to the world. People can invest in the business by making small loans. Some of the loans are as small as $25!
