Good People: Is Kiva the Shake Weight of Do-gooding
I first saw microlending in action while traveling with the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh in 2007. Then it was being sold as a silver bullet solution to ending poverty.

I shared my experiences in a chat with Jay on the Good People podcast. Listen, rate, subscribe.
Key takeaway: Lending isn’t giving.
