Kiva is a microlending site where you can give small ($25) loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries. When the loans are paid back, you can reloan the same funds out again to someone else.
Until tomorrow, PayPal is matching $25 loans with a $25 credit to your Kiva account, allowing you to make two loans for the price of one.

Yea I did some research. It's not a charity actually, 97% of the people got their money back. You dont earn interest and it's better that way. Once again, great idea

Think of it as you're getting a deal on feeling like you are helping make a person's life better.
I made a mistake last year giving my money to kiva. Will never do it again.
Paypal would have anyway invested these as part of their "social responsibilities" but with this "gimmick" they get others to "match" their investment.
But they got my $25 as i see Kiva as a platform to help others , so thats that...
