Kiva: “What happens when 620,000 lenders fund 615,000 entrepreneurs, students, and other microfinance borrowers around the world? – Five+ years of Kiva loan activity, in full color. Thanks to all the lenders, borrowers, partners, and team members who brightened this map – and helped to change lives in the process.”
Indeed. There could be a shorter version for presentations, but it’s great work!

Kiva extends its global microlending marketplace to education by adding student microloans; http://j.mp/binhgb
Wired: “Crowdsourced microlending service Kiva has begun offering educational loans to students in three countries around the world, with the objective of expanding its successes with small businesses into encouraging the spread of learning. – Students in Paraguay, Bolivia and Lebanon are now able to apply for loans that will be used to fund their studies. All they need to do is upload a picture and write a small piece about what they plan to do with the money, and then it’ll appear on the website.”
FC: “Kiva learned extensive lessons in its early years in Africa and made mistakes along the way, which is part of why the organization is especially strong right now and ready to take this next step. They know that reliable, trustworthy partners are critical, for example, and that’s why the three initial countries – Lebanon, Paraguay, and Bolivia – were chosen. … Of course money and loans are just part of what is necessary to help individuals learn and grow, and even education itself is just one part of the quest toward global poverty alleviation. Shah agrees that an entire ecosystem must be in place for the full benefits of education to be actualized. OLPC received massive criticism for thinking it could drop computers off into villages without a comprehensive system of trained teachers and formal classrooms in place. Families, teachers, classrooms, and access to funds all form part of the ecosystem that allows individuals to benefit from higher education.”
