I did not know about KIVA before joining this challenge. The 96% repayment rate record as well as ability to loan small amounts ($25) certainly encourages willingness to make micro loans through this organization. Kiva scores 92% four star rating on Charity Navigator! Having seen so many people hustling to make a living in Latin American countries I have visited, I am pleased to be able to access an organization that allows me to loan to entrepreneurs in developing counties!

  Awesome Jeff, you're extensive travel in Latin America gives you a unique perspective. Jeanette and I are going to look into this also.
