I continue to be impressed with Kiva, a simple way to provide micro-finance to entrepreneurs in less developed countries. The group Dick Moore set up now has 9 members. It could do with many more. - Seb Schmoller from Bookmarklet

Thanks Seb, this is not charity as such ,as you loan the cash and while you don't get interest, when its re-paid you get to loan it again or take it out. Our group "IT people supporting REAL development" has now loaned about £650 but has only put in about £350. The impact that $25 can make to someone's ability to feed and educate their family makes this worth it for me. - Dick Moore
