We got a $92 check for having the Amazon widget in our sidebar and used it to fund four Kiva microloans. We helped fund loans to a fish seller and a jewelry artist in Nicaragua, and two farmers in Tajikistan.

Also check out this great video that tracks the lifetime of a Kiva loan and Banker to the Poor.

Every time we get a check for having the amazon sidebar on our blog, we round it up to $100 and donate it to a worthy cause. Where should we donate next?

TikiRobot is donating $100 to the SF Food Bank this winter. They feed 132,000 people every year, and this year their dry good supplies are down 15%. If you are in town over the holidays, they need volunteers.
