I love it when technology allows a simple concept to some to fruition. Connect a person with a small need with a person who can easily fulfill that need.

Kiva 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 email journal updates from
    the business you've sponsored.  As loans are repaid, you get your loan
    money back.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=about">
Kiva partners with existing microfinance institutions.  In doing so,
    we gain access to outstanding entrepreneurs from impoverished
    communities world-wide.  Our partners are experts in choosing
    qualified borrowers.  That said, they are usually short on
    funds. Through Kiva.org, our partners upload their borrower profiles
    directly to the site so you can lend to them.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=about">
Kiva provides a data-rich, transparent lending platform for the poor.
    We are constantly working to make the system more transparent to show
    how money flows throughout the entire cycle.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/03727990-8BC7-4807-A00E-89B9671B7993/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
