Kiva - Make a Loan Online to a Farmer in the Developing World.

You can go to Kiva’s website and lend to someone in the developing world who needs a loan for their business - like raising goats, selling vegetables at market or making bricks. Each loan has a picture of the entrepreneur, a description of their business and how they plan to use the loan so you know exactly how your money is being spent.

I just made a loan to an entrepreneur named Hanifa Namutebi in Uganda. Hanifa is married, and has four children. Her current business is poultry farming. She has applied for a loan to purchase more birds and increase her business.

Entrepreneurial Urban Agriculturists should take advantage of this program.
