Since IJourneyGreen is in the middle of applying for our 501(c)3 status, I figure I will spend this time writing about other companies engaging in all types of microfinance. I find it fascinating that all of these young kids (wow, I am seriously dating myself) are getting involved in social entrepreneurial businesses. 31 bits jewelry designers are a perfect example of this. This creative foursome (Alli, Kallie, Anna and Brooke) have found a trendy and fun way to market jewelry made by rural Ugandan women. There site says it all...so visit it and spend some money to help create a US market for these goods.

For those of you who are advocates of micro-lending and are eager to see it used in a new and creative manner, check out vittana. A brand new site using the wonder of mico-lending to help children pay for an education. I really admire this company, building upon the success of Kiva and allowing people a more 'personalized' interaction than traditional aid donations. Their site is so simplistic but tells a very real and compelling story. So check them out at www.vittana.org
