Kiva.org has spent the last 3-1/2 years building cash on the internet to finance money hungry entreprenuers in 44 poor countries.
This micro-lender is reaching out now to low-income entrepreneurs in the U.S.
The reluctance of the U.S. banks to lend in the last nine months has caused Kiva to reconsider helping out in the world's largest economy.
Relying on crowd-funding, Kiva raises money by putting the needs of the entrepreneurs that sign up on their website and people can make a contribution in $25 increments.
