- jackcontemusic, on 05/30/2008, -0/+7awesome story. We need more stuff like this in the news.
- byrdgang, on 05/31/2008, -0/+7If you guys like this story, you all might like the idea of Kiva.org. It's a website that allows average people to loan money to business owners across the world. You can loan as little or as much as you want. It's important to remember that it is not a donation; it is a loan.
See kiva.org for more details. - domfosnz, on 05/31/2008, -0/+6good stuff. A great submission.
- nateking1, on 05/31/2008, -0/+6Microfinancing is one of the brightest ideas in economics, I'm glad the founders won the Nobel Prize.

- jamesthewitch, on 05/31/2008, -0/+2I gave to Kiva a couple of years ago, it is a worthwhile venture. The microloan idea is one that is really helpful in redistributing the world's wealth in an worthy manner!

- dleesgeetar, on 05/31/2008, -1/+1and U.S. Americans?
- mjneimkin, on 06/25/2009, -0/+0A great story for sure. Anyone interested in microfinance, and other feel good stories should check out Muhammad Yunis's "Banker to the Poor," if you haven't read it already.
- mjneimkin, on 06/25/2009, -0/+0Kiva.org is great! Also, there has been a newcomer to the philanthropic microfinance scene. http://unitedprosperity.org is set up like Kiva, but goes through a bank and microfinance institution to loan more money to the struggling entrepreneur.
