They give it to established microfinance groups that probably have varying degrees of business and accountability training. Ash: Hey, good to hear from you. Let me know how it goes after you've done it. Stacey: Hi! I've been reading your blog too and I'm quite entertained by Tyler's antics. Thanks for your comment too. Very nice of you. Tell Nate and Tyler hi for me. Carolynn: Kiva doesn’t actually administer the money.

I read about his last year as well but like so many other things I just dropped the ball and never invested in someone. I love the idea here and I'll try to get involved right away.

Do you know, what are they doing to educate the borrowers about solid business practices so they can leverage the funding & get their businesses properly established? Here's another interesting idea-- community-owned businesses. http://www.newrules.org/retail/news_archive.php?browseby=slug&slugid=162 I like the Kiva concept.
