I want to pass this on to those who haven't heard of it. Microlending is "the extension of very small loans (microloans) to the unemployed, to poor entrepreneurs and to others living in poverty who are not bankable" (from Wikipedia). Very very cool concept if there is any hope for the poor (esp those in third world countries) to have any hope of raising themselves out of poverty. Here is the site:
