Kiva
Kiva, an organization that partners with microfinance institutions in the developing world to help them to raise debt capital, has a Web site that is, for all intents and purposes, a social network. Individuals can come to Kiva’s site and see profiles of entrepreneurs; read descriptions about them, what they need the loan for and how long they expect to take to pay it back; and then choose somebody to finance via a loan made through PayPal, which is providing Kiva with free payment processing. It’s what Fiona Ramsey, public relations director for Kiva, calls an eBay for microfinance.
