In
the Spirit of Giving
For
those of you that know me, you know that I've
been self-employed for over 5 years and love the
freedom of it. Well, I have come across an excellent
way to share the gift of giving and the entrepreneur
spirit all year long....
Kiva.org
lets you connect with and loan money to unique
small businesses in the developing world. By choosing
a business on Kiva.org,
you can "sponsor a business" and help
the world's working poor make great strides towards
economic independence. Throughout the course of
the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive
e-mail journal updates from the business you've
sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan
money back and can then reinvest it into another
sponsored business or pull it out of your account.
The
great thing about it is that you can loan as little
as $25.00. Check it out today!!
