Also, this organization has been endorsed by the New York times, BBC, Oprah, Forbes, Time, CNN, Reuters, Wall Street Journal etc.  All of which you can bet have done their due dilligence before throwing support behind it.


Newspapers don't "endorse" or "support" anything, they just report the news.

There's always a risk they can't pay you back.  In which case you take it as giving a donation to that poor person.  No, you don't get any interest for loaning them the money.  It's an act of charity.


But they charge interest, don't they? if they charge interest, and you don't get it, who gets it? smile.gif

if we hit 100 members by end March 2010, I'm going to personally loan out another USD$500
So come come, join in, loan more, help more people, and lets change the world one loan at a time!


Why don't you help local Malaysians? a lot of them would very much welcome the loan.
