We wrote about Kiva earlier in our post Kiva – Give the world’s poor a leg up. Since then we’ve grown to nine members lending a total of $300 to entrepreneurs in some of the world’s poorest countries.

Why not have a look at our team page and the loans we’ve made? Perhaps you’d like to join in too. The minimum loan you can make is $25, which isn’t very much to empower people to change their lives.

We found a really good video about Kiva and the work they do. You can see it here:
Vimeo: A Fistful Of Dollars: the story of a Kiva loan

And if you’d like to join the BE team, you’ll find us here: Kiva: BE team page
