Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can "sponsor a business" and help the world's working poor make great strides towards economic independence.
Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the business you've sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back.
Kiva partners with microfinance institutions across the globe who are on the ground vetting loan applications and working with entrepreneurs to ensure the best chance at their business succeeding.

Kiva is truly amazing. I really like the idea that it is more than old-fashioned charity. It's more like you're helping people help themselves.
