JFK, The Peace Corps and Kiva.org
We’d like to take a moment on JFK’s birthday–the creator of the Peace Corps–to shine a light on one of our clients; kiva.org. If you haven’t heard about them yet, they are the only non-profit micropayment organization who’s helping the world’s working poor through your loans. You contribute and interact with members requesting business loans, and they pay the loans back and build a future for themselves in their developing nation.
Amazing as the Peace Corps is, we think kiva.org is equally remarkable as a technological high-water mark in the challenge to better our world.
