Have you heard of KIVA?
Many members of ActiveRain are helping by making micro-loans to people who need your help from all over the world. Get a free $25 Kiva trial but don't wait they are going fast.
Today you can try it and make a difference for free with no future obligation (Of course, as I've discovered helping others is contagious and you will probably continue to help).
For a limited time, Reid Hoffman, founder of Linkedin, is sponsoring free trials.
The funds go to the people that you select (I know they get the funds because they repay them and then you can loan again). KIVA has a fantastic rating from every place that I can find to rate charitable organizations. I love the idea that we are not handing money over -- but rather helping people by lending to alleviate poverty. The worldwide network of KIVA leverages the internet and works with micro finance organizations to help create opportunity around the world.
Typical loans are as little as $25 and do a world of good. Learn how it works. Try a loan now.
Others on ActiveRain who are making loans on KIVA include: Juli Vosmik, Peter & Linda Pfann, Emily Read, Barbara-Jo Roberts Berberi, Kristie Kruger, Richard Ruggaber, Ralph Gorgoglione, Cynthia Larsen and Erica Ramus.
