Nancy Price: modern-day armchair lender

default userpic

sheknows.jpgNancy Price is the cofounder of SheKnows.com (which got its start in 1999).  She is also a big-time Kiva fan.

For example, she has "helped buy cows in Azerbaijan, food in the Dominican Republic, clothing in Kenya and fund construction in Mexico."  And, of course, it was all from her computer.

Yet, as she notes, the process isn't impersonal.  Basically, on Kiva you can easily search for entrepreneurs and read the profiles.  When you make a loan, you'll also get periodic updates.

She also mentions that Kiva gets a lot of help from PayPal, Google and Yahoo! (such as in terms of processing and advertising).
