Y12 Kiva and ZIP

In its original form, Kiva ia a curate's egg of a model - as far as we understand you are not exactly choosing who to fund but will be assigned a similar location/type of businesss

Kiva Zip has established the direct model but as yet the mian country that permits it is only USA

However there are 2 reasons why we believe Kiva (in spite of being work in progress) merits an entry in any world record job creation book

It just about invented the digitally scaled loan - and these days that links to future generations of crowfunding too

It helped many student networks to form their own lab and relationship with a developing world poverty community -the direct knowhow that students get from such action learning is second to none. Its not just students that Kiva has caught the imagination - see the International Bank of BOB. Its cultural tales of pockets of poverty all over the world is the sort of source that 21st C learning (and the race to become borderless citizens) urgently needs
