Microlending success
via PSFK, microlending pioneer Kiva has a problem. a good problem to have, however. they are out of recipients for microloans. the demand is certainly out there for microloans, it's part of Kiva's job now to find it and attract those individuals and organizations. this is truly remarkable to me, and warmed by the success of Kiva, which really paved great ground for other lending and investment options targeting social change.

Jeff and I received a Kiva gift certificate for Christmas, chose the business to receive our loan, then gave someone else a gift certificate. We really like this idea! There are still 13 pages of businesses who have not yet had their loan request met. So although they may be "out" of new businesses, there are still plenty of businesses who can be helped with a loan.
