Here’s a link to my lender page at kiva.org, a charitable micro-lender that connects lenders to borrowers, all over the world.

Note that the bottom of the lender page lists the distribution amongst gender and locale.

How it works: you make small loans to small entrepreneurs. They pay you back.

Olesya Mikitina is my cutest recipient — if you’re in the Ukraine, stop by and pick up a lovely new stove exhaust fan (in high demand, this season!), and while you’re there, try a delicious khrustyky!
