Kiva

You may have heard of this site: Kiva. It has been getting a lot of publicity lately, but it is a very interesting site. Basically you can lend out as little as $25 to entrepreneurs in developing countries. There are oppurtunities all over asia, south america, and africa. There currently is no earned interest on the loans, but I still think it is a very cool idea. Hopefully it can eventually expand to where you can make a little bit of money providing this small microloans.
