Michelle and I got our first reimbursement check from our first Kiva (peer to peer lending to end world poverty) loan. Our lady is a month ahead of schedule. I’m impressed. So far, this loan system seems pretty well organized. We split our first repayment check among two different groups and re-loaned it. This has been a great experience and I look forward to seeing the updates each month. If you haven’t checked this out yet, I strongly recommend you give it a look. Make poverty history.

I’ve known about Kiva for awhile now and Michelle and I made our first loan today. Kiva is an organization that allows you to donate money through loans to entrepreneurs in underdeveloped countries. It is a pretty rad idea that is using technology to truly create a new kind of community. I would strongly encourage you to check it out for yourself. We just made a loan to help a woman named Estela with her business. Click here to see Michelle and my lending page.

***UPDATE*** If you are going to sign up and make a loan then please join the group, Kiva Christians, before you make the loan so that the group gets credit for what you do. Thanks!
