This is very small potatoes, but I've been making micro-loans via kiva.org for 20 years or so - it provides a way to support the aspirations of people in difficult circumstances, such as this contribution to a young person's higher education www.kiva.org/invitedby/da...
Can you help David support Fatmah?
Kiva is a loan, not a donation. With Kiva you can lend as little as $25 and make a big change in someone's life.
