"On KIVA.org, I invested in the stationery business of a Ecuadorian woman named Agustina."
How I did it: 1. Go to www.Kiva.org, set up an account.
2. Browse profiles of entrepreneurs.
3. Choose one. Decide on an amount you'd like to lend.
4. Using Paypal or a credit card, complete the transaction.
Over the period of the loan, my credit card will be credited back, and I can reinvest the money.
Lessons & tips: I personally chose a person to whom I can relate. As much as I could intuit from her description and picture, I really liked her spirit. I also liked the business itself, and the pride with which she seems to conduct it.
Resources: Internet.
Credit Card.
It took me 1 month.
It made me useful
