“What happens when 620,000 lenders fund 615,000 entrepreneurs, students, and other microfinance borrowers around the world?

Five+ years of Kiva loan activity, in full color. Thanks to all the lenders, borrowers, partners, and team members who brightened this map – and helped to change lives in the process.” – Vimeo

I have been a member of Kiva for something like five years now, and I am so happy to see it have expanded the way it has.

It is so easy to be cynical about the way the world is working these days, but Kiva.org is a great way to kill that cynicism.

I am proud to be a member there, knowing even my small contribution can help.
