I loan because:
I just love this site - it is such a great and simple idea! It goes beyond giving to a charity as you know exactly where the money is going - you KNOW you are helping out a person or persons in need. You feel directly involved and connected to the Entrepreneurs. What is only a relatively small amount to me can be given to them to help them help themselves. It is not only a grant of money, it is a grant of empowerment and dignity. And then you get the money back and you can start the whole wonderful process again! W00t!!
