Kiva.org

Many of you may remember me mentioning Kiva.org once or twice. I LOVE this organization. They distribute micro loans to entrepreneurs in third world countries. Its empowering, for both the giver and the receiver of the loans, which the main requirement for any charity I support: it has to empower the receipient.

Here's a video story of exactly how a Kiva loan works:
