CMAR,

Sounds good to me! Plus it gives me an excuse as a poor student to do this as Christmas gifts without breaking the bank.

Like they're going to remember that they're owed 25 bucks in 6 months.

Why $25?

From the website, clicking the "Why Only $25" link.

Thanks for supporting Kiva.org! Due to overwhelming user interest, we are temporarily limiting loan contributions to $25 per business so that everyone has a chance to make a Kiva loan. We appreciate your patience and look forward to removing this limit soon!

Sorry if it's already been posted, I just did a quick read over the replies.

Re: Kiva.org - Xmas gift suggestion for ballas
 

Yeah, you're limited to $25 per business at this time. So if you give someone a $100 gift certificate, they'd get to pick out 4 businesses to give loans to. I bought my wife a $200 gift certificate so she'll be making 8 loans.

I have already been been paid back on 2 of my 3 loans I made this spring.

Dear XXXXX XXXXXX,

This email confirms that $25.00 of your loan to Maria Benita
Verastegui Rodríguez is now redeemable.

This amount can now be re-loaned to another business, donated to Kiva
or withdrawn.

Kiva

WTF 0% interest? what a scam.






Seriously though, very cool. Can't wait til you can do more. I spend enough money on dumb crap, might as well risk it on someone. I think it'd be real cool to donate a few grand to one place and then see it succeed.
