I guess there are a number of different companies that use this micro finance models. It's good that these services do not require the borrower to pay any interest on the loans.

I think that the micro finace model is a powerful agent for change - especially in the realm of micro-credit! Lending money to financially deprived people on a trust basis is revolutionary in this day of hyper-interest rates and financial insecurity but I have read about the great success they have had, an almost "pay it forward" multiplying effect happens, as the payback of the original loan is used for the next endeavor. I have a vision for a local project that would rely on micro-credit to creat a micro-enterprise that would sort of self-perpetuate.
Thanks for sharing this!

I have am currently lending through Kiva and have had a great experience so far. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. Gift certificates are great gifts (which is how I found out about it, actually).

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
