I enjoyed reading the post. Nice points you got there, you are telling your audience that
social business is a way of alleviating poverty.

@Bethp: Your article is excellent. I’m glad you explained the Danone-Grameen Foods yogurt business as another example of how social business works.

@kouji haiku: Yes, Kiva is a system for micro loans rather like Grameen Bank. One difference is that I think you as an individual lender have more control over who you loan money to with Kiva.

interesting.

for my part, i turn to sites like freerice, kiva, and goodsearch, as ways to help alleviate poverty online.

kiva’s something along the grameen bank’s lines, microfinance, not sure if it’s for profit though. i don’t think so.

saw this post via the front page of blog action day. it’s great that you’re participating.
