A friend told me about a site she had heard of from a classmate. It's kiva.org. Apparently the point is for you to make small loans to people in 3rd world countries so they can start businesses or add to an already existing business. The guy who told my friend about it said he loaned someone in africa $25 to buy a cow lolol. Anyway, it seems like a cool idea and I was thinking about donating some money if it is legit. Has anyone here heard of it?

I wasn't sure where to post this, so since it's about money I figured wallstreet would be as good as any place to post it.
