Check out my quest post (here) for the lovely blog Four Leaf Clover today on Kiva, a wonderful non-profit empowering entrepreneurs throughout the world through access to small loans. See how you can get involved in the good they are doing to change lives and alleviate poverty through their website.
"Where once the poor were commonly seen as passive victims, microfinance recognizes that poor people are remarkable reservoirs of energy and knowledge. And while the lack of financial services is a sign of poverty, today it is also understood as an untapped opportunity to create markets, bring people in from the margins and give them the tools with which to help themselves." -Kofi Annan
