I know I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s Christmas and you may be feeling some guilt for spending so much money while those in other countries do not have the same opportunities. Or, and I think this is more likely, you’re just a nice person like me ;-)

Either way, Kiva’s what you need.

Kiva is a way of giving charitably but not giving away your money. Once the person who used it has profited from using their entrepreneurial spirit, the money is returned to you to invest in someone else. All you lose is a small amount of interest!

So loan some hard-working people some money and see what they can do with it to improve their lot and the lot of their home country’s economy!
