rigsy kiva provides loans to people so they can earn a living and support their families, it is done through many different organizations. The people the work through kiva simply supply the money for the micro loans.. you are kind of limited to $25.-- for any given loan. so the sisk is spread out though many people and many people are allowed to help.
one of the best things going is the loans have to be paid back.. there are conditions where the loan is automatic forgiven (like the person dying) but with the loan being repaid to me (I can take out my money anytime after it is repaid) I have the oppertunity reloan the money which I do, so far I have made 25 loans,, that total amount I have loaned out is $625.-- over varying lengths of time. Actual money I have invested is less than $200.-- actually I don't know any more and I get to play banker as I loan out my money.. again and again. cool huh.. one of my loans is to a lady in the USA imagine that most of the loans are to people in third world countries where regular bank loans are not available. the old proverb "If you can give a man a fish and feed him for a day,, or you can teach a man to fish and feed him for a life time." Myself with many others are teaching people how to fish.
