Proforma letter:
Loan $25 to change lives through Kiva.org
I want to let you all know about a cool non-profit that is doing great
things: Kiva.org
Kiva.org allows individuals to make $25 loans to low-income
entrepreneurs in the developing world (microfinance). By doing so,
individuals like you provide affordable working capital for the poor
(money to buy a sewing machine, livestock, etc.), empowering them to
earn their way out of poverty.
It's a new, direct and sustainable way to fight global poverty, and
the way I see it, I get a higher return on $25 helping someone build a
future than the interest my checking account pays.
Anyways, if you have a minute, please check out the site:
http://kiva.org. If you need more "reputable" validation than my
recommendation :), know that they have received great press in
publications ranging from The Wall Street Journal to NPR to
BusinessWeek.
Thanks for reading!
