Loans that change life - great idea

I came across this site by coincidence, and I really admire the idea and the people behind.

Few months ago we all heard about the Founder of Grameen bank, who won the Noble peace prize for 2006. Great idea to get people out of poverty circle, by small aid in shape of loan, and not by donation.

And now I came across an online organization called Kiva, which enable us, right from our living room (or wherever you have your computer) to loan small amount of money, to poor people in need, not just to donate, but to help them invest in new business.

The site with such noble idea, take advantage of all the principles we know about the web today (Web 2.0?), the site is friendly, clean and simple design, but also the payment is easy (via credit or Paypal), and more important, you can see the picture and details of the person you lent to, and kind of join a community of people who also lent to him/her, and you can get also report about his progress (and maybe even the money back), and have it all in online journal.

You can even subscribe to RSS feed about your loan, and they supply a badge you can add to your blog, or hyperlink to add to your email signature.

And all is non profit, just to make good.

So guys spread the word.........or watch my 'investment'
