What really happens when you lend $25 via Kiva.org to help an overseas mom-and-pop business? I followed my own money all the way to clients in Peru, Nepal, Cambodia, Lebanon, Kenya, and a dozen other countries. Do you really get paid back? And does it really do any good?

"Give this book your time. It will pay you back."
Joss Whedon

"An important review of the strengths of microlending and its limitations… a fun read… powerful."
The Boston Globe

"Joyous, humane, and inspiring."
Arianna Huffington
