For the many who do not know, Kiva is basically a microfinance-oriented website that takes loans from, well, anyone, and redistributes it to entrepreneurs all over the world, mostly in developping countries. The loan, when repaid by the entrepreneur, is re-loaned, meaning that Kiva constantly grows. An interesting fact is that their repayment rate is over 98%, which surprised me.
Another interesting fact is that the biggest organized group that donates to Kiva is Kiva's atheist, agnostics and skeptics organization, with over 4 million dollars of loans or re-loans. And the second biggest donor is Kiva Christians, which over 2.5 million dollars.
It's just heart-warming to see that those idiotic stereotypes about atheists not caring for their fellow man is as wrong as expected
