COMMENTS: Kiva Comes Home
Earlier this year, CBS' Daniel Sieberg publicized microcredit loans to potters in Peru and ABC anchor Charles Gibson made author Kate Smith Milway his network's Person of the Week. Smith Milway's book One Hen tells the tale of microcredit loans to poultry farmers in Ghana. Now microfinance comes home. ABC's Betsy Stark offered her second free plug to kiva.org, a Website that now facilitates person-to-person loans to small businesses in this country. Stark cited the site's track record: 98% of Kiva's entrepreneurs repay their loans in full. ABC's Stark had previously mentioned Kiva's role in helping Iraqi reconstruction back in the summer of 2007.
