Pledge “Microfinance”
"I will make a $25 Microloan through kiva.org but only if 10 other people worldwide will do the same."
— Birrell Walsh, San Francisco
Deadline to sign up by: 2nd February 2008
9 people signed up, 1 more was needed
More details
Microfinance makes very small loans to very small businesses in very poor countries. The business survives, the family eats, the kids go to school; and the economic spiral goes up rather than down. kiva.org lets people make micro-loans via Paypal to businesses and individuals you choose from their lists. AND it is not a gift - 99.8% are repaid so far. So you can withdraw your "investment," or re-loan again.
This pledge is now closed, as its deadline has passed. You might be interested in these other pledges:
