Kiva
Like a lot of people in North America I came across kiva.org via a profile on Frontline on PBS (Frontline alone is worth a separate posting. Surely one of the world's best documentary teams).
Today I was reminded of them again as they sent out an update e-mail. The real promise of this new web is the power of peer-to-peer relationships. This is a great example of that promise. Lend money directly to entrepreneurs in developing countries and bypass the stifling bureaucracy of government controlled agencies.
Check them out and take on an entrepreneur.
