I would encourage everyone to check out Kiva&amp;#39;s Web site and &lt;a href="http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/uganda601/video_index.html"&gt;Frontline&amp;#39;s video&lt;/a&gt;.

In TechSoup&amp;#39;s article, &lt;a href="http://www.techsoup.org/howto/yourstories/funding/page4366.cfm"&gt;Microfinance Provides Loans, Hope to Millions Worldwide&lt;/a&gt;, learn how microfinance organizations, like the Grameen Foundation and its partners, are bringing sustainable technology -- and a better future -- to remote villages around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
