it’s hard to believe that for someone who used to design webpages, i’m having such a hard time getting this site to do anything i want it to. perhaps it has to do with giving up design for too long and selling out to the financial markets. shameless as it may sound to those i love dearly whose hearts would never betray vintage attire, private views, battling unemployment/underemployment/i’m still working on that script/i’m in the middle of recording a new album, the freedom to run out of the office at 6pm to get home to the guitar, the canvas, sitting in a bar, not having any money so could they put me on the guest list. you should see her last painting: she said she would make me one last year, i know she needs the money but it’s been almost finished for nearly a year.

This will give a nice easy introduction to the topic.

A lot has happened since then.

Check out:

Microfinance on Wikipedia: The ultimate starting part for any web 2.0 fact-finding mission…

Kiva.org: Actually started by an ex-consultant. A very cool idea. As long as the money doesn’t start becoming a little too easy, in terms of ensuring a repayment process…

CGAP: Consultative Group to Assist the Poor. Believe it’s run by the World Bank. The debate on them is an open one, comments please.

By then, you’ll know there’s lots out there.

If anyone wants to delve into this topic further, do contact me…
