No 82: Help me to help someone

PLEASE read post number 81 first.

I've put some money into Kiva. I would like my students to decide where $25 of my money goes.

Therefore, please have a look on http://www.kiva.org/lend at the list of people who would like to borrow money, and tell me your suggestions below.

  1. Do you really think that these enterpreneurs get the money at some point?
    I mean how can we find out whether or not it goes directly to help these people.
    $25 is not a big amount, however I'd like to be sure it makes any difference to them!
    Is there any way to control this process??

    give the money to the blacksmith!
    I'd say that we cannot control the process in any way, because as soon as we press "Lend Now"
    we make an agreement with Kiva itself and give these money to them. They then give these money to enterpreneurs.
