Kiva – a PBS Frontline video clip about microfinance
This 5 mintue video features Kiva, a microfinance nonprofit, which enables more affluent people to give small loans, like $50 or more, to entrepreneurs in developing areas of the world. These small loans enable the entrepreneurs to start businesses. In this video, we see Grace Aaya, a refugee in Uganda, who invests in a peaanut grinder to grow her business, Grace's Peanut Butter. This video allows us to see how the web can produce positive social change by facilitating both personal and economic relationships between those who have more and those who have less.
