Thinking of trying out microfinancing through, kiva.org anyone have experience with it?

Yes, I have experience with it. It's funded through your PayPal account and is a great way to help people finance their businesses. The minimum loan amount that a lender may provide is $25.00, so there will be multiple lenders for the same loan request.

A typical loan request may be around $500.00. You loan what you're able to, but there is no return on investment. It's purely philanthropic.

There are filters for choosing countries or types of businesses, etc. Some businesses have borrowed multiple times. I had made five $25.00 loans and got repaid 100 percent on every one. If I had been able to afford it, I would have re-loaned the money to others.

However, financial issues compelled me to withdraw all avalable funds. Respectfully, Shin.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
