As I've mentioned before I have been loaning to small businesses via Kiva for a couple of years now. A few days ago I made my 17th loan which was to a group of women in Uganda trying to raise $1,825.

The way Kiva works they expire any loan that doesn't reach it's target inside 30 days (refunding the credit to the Kiva lenders). These women have 5 more days in which raise the last $300 of their loan.

If you've ever wanted to try Kiva out now might be a good opportunity. I loaned them $25, maybe you'll give it a try too.
