Using the tune "If I Had $1,000,000" by the Barenaked Ladies, here's Yassie and John’s tribute to the microlending website kiva.org--a place where you can make $25 loans to poor people around.
I wanted to let you know about Kiva (www.kiva.org), a non-profit that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur across the globe. You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. It's a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty.
I have six people that I have loans out to at this time. It is very easy to do and it helps people and makes you feel good.
