Kiva 2

Maria Putzer responded to my original post about microfinancing by leading me to a podcast. I finally got around to listening to that podcast. I found it very informative. The program even answered my original question on whether there could a website like Kiva.org for the poor in America. The inventors said that there did not exist such a website. There was one bank that did such financing. I assume that the big boys like JP Morgan, Chase, etc. have similar programs, but not with accessibility to the public like Kiva. I would be excited to find out what it would take to undergo such an initiative. Food for thought as always:)
