Have you heard of Kiva? If not, you need to! I love it when I come across businesses or people or ideas that are making the world a better place, people caring about other people, resources being shared, and ultimately, Jesus being glorified. I don't know that Kiva is a particularly "christian" organization, but I do know that what they are doing is changing the world. They're helping "the least of these" and making a way for the rest of us to help too!
Kiva, which means "agreement" or "unity" in Swahili, would allow people with a little bit of extra cash to use their credit card or the online money transfer company, PayPal, to lend directly to African entrepreneurs.
Amazingly, if you've got as little as $25 you can point and click and become part of a global village promoting sustainable development.

I love it! I, too love companies who help in the cause of bringing Life with a capital "L" to the world. In every area! I was just at nutrisoda.com the other day and saw that Airforce Nutrisoda and edun Live work together to help Dress for Success and the work-force in Africa. Here's what they said...Our women's and men's t-shirts made by edun LIVE, in Lesotho, Southern Africa. edun LIVE is a socially-conscious apparel company, helping create much-needed employment and trade opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa.
100% of the profits go to Dress For Success, who works in the U.S. and overseas to help disadvantaged women achieve economic independence.
Zero calories, zero caffeine, zero sugar, one cause.
Thanks for posting this!
