We met Sheel in India, and had a 36 hour train ride to learn about the work he’s doing with Kiva.org. Basically, the website allows you to make small loans directly to entrepreneurs in developing countries. Kiva finds these projects that need funding through non-profits in the local area to help guarantee that the money will be used appropriately.
We would love it if Kiva were to post videos of projects that have been funded. The big potential is to get conversation to happen between the funders and the entrepreneurs. Maybe they could share valuable information and contacts as well as the necessary money.
Great video as usual Ryan.
I am so excited to learn about this site.
What a great way to contribute in a concrete way to change
the poverty in the world.
Thanks.
