Everyone has heard the saying...

"Give a man a fish and you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime".

Everyone has also heard of Grameen Bank by now, since its founder won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. Well, imagine if everyone could do what Muhammad Yunus did, lent money to entrepreneurs in developing countries to start or expand a business. Kiva lets you do exactly that. I find the idea intriguing, and will give it a go.
