What is microlending????

You may have heard the terms 'microlending' or 'microfinance', but you may still be wondering what they mean in the real world.

Student Voices by MATT.org spent a few days outside of Monterrey, Mexico with microlending greats ADMIC and Kiva to get you a firsthand look at what microlending means to the working poor.  We'll be posting a great video with interviews from Kiva and Admic staff as well as some of Mexico's most endearing small business owners soon.

But first, here is a peek at Kiva.org and their work (in this story, in Uganda).  Kiva lets YOU be a part of the microlending phenomenon.  (Yes, it's really a phenomenon, which means you better get take advantage of this free crash-course we're providing!)
