Microloans

I saw a FrontlineWorld bit on this some time back. Sure, many right here in the States could use an interest free loan right about now, but the impact is so great in the developing world where such little money can go so far. Kiva is one site where as little as $50 can make a difference. Surely there are more examples out there.
