Project for Awesome 2008: Kiva.org

Kiva.org is an organization that helps entrepreneurs and business-owners in developing nations get started and make their business into a viable livelihood.

I donated $50 when I found out about it in 2007 and have since seen that small loan be repaid and redistributed to help other people three different times. They accept any amount and small donations toward the site and outreach programs to teach and guide the recipients of the micro-financing loans are welcome but not required.

Feel free to message me with any questions - this is a great option to make a difference and get a great return on your investment!

kiva.org or link on nerdfighters.com through the original brotherhood2.com website.

Have an awesome day and rest of 2008!

This is such an amazing idea in that it gives people the opportunity to build up a business and repay what they have been given.

As for what you should do in New York, if you have the money and someone to go with, go see a show! Or go visit Maureen Johnson...haha :)

Merry Christmas!
