I agree, people …
I agree, people should decide how they spend,save, and give their money, the government should not do it for us. People like to give some of their cash away for charitable reasons anyways and lending it is always better than just giving it away when it comes to economic effect. That’s all. If they default, it will just become a donation anyways. No one’s planning on getting their loan back, it’s just like donating to charity, but a bit more effective. Give a man a fish vs. teach how to fish.

If you keep saving …
If you keep saving and investing in a disciplined manner, in a few years you will have much more capital to be comfortable and help others much more too. Have you heard of the Dave Ramsey show? He advocates paying off debt, living frugally, and donating what you can to productive causes

They are very good …
They are very good borrowers actually because they are humble and disciplined, the rate is 95%+ payment every quarter for microlending. Plus this is a capitalistic kind of philanthropy, that lets them build their own businesses and jobs rather than just giving away charity money and letting warlords steal it like the UN was doing. Anyways you are lending for charitable reasons, not as a serious investment to make money, even though it is slightly profitable for you too!

I found this very interesting because it provides a way to share a little bit of my abundance in a way that I can see a direct result. And although I am below the poverty level, income wise, I DO have the ability to share a little from time to time, but dont have the ability to commit to a monthly deal. Lastly, there have been several times in my life that a small gift or helping hand made a huge difference to myself and/or my family, I like the idea of being able to be on the other end of that.

What’s ironic is we bank with Bank America, Whacovia and Citi Bank for years and we can’t even walk in there to get a $500,$1000 or $5000 business loan. That’s crazy. We do over a million dollars in banking(not to mention the bank fees) during a life time and the banks act like we are unworthy.

Kiva is not what it seems — it does not enable person-to-person loans.
A recent blog post by microcredit expert David Roodman provoked a firestorm when it exposed that Kiva lenders are not, in fact, giving their money directly to the person whose picture they see and story they read.
http://blogs.cgdev.org/open_book/2009/10/kiva-is-...
The New York times wrote a recent Kiva expose confirming that “the direct person-to-person connection Kiva offered was in fact an illusion”
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/09/business/global...
In the interest of accuracy, please inform your readers that their donated funds are put into a pool and lent to borrowers who, may or may not, be like the ones in the pictures.
