Helped someone grow - 26th Day

Helped someone grow - 26th Day
Kiva User Funds

Donated money to someone in Africa, who can start his own business with help of group investment and would try to pay back once his business takes off.
I always believed in teaching someone to fish, rather than handing him a fish. So, I was against just giving away money to anyone just like that, but if this gives a kickstart to start someone's business/ career and they are going to try to payback, it made sense to me.  This website is called kiva.org , which helps people start businesses mostly in 3rd world countries with the help of group donation, and sends a track of how and when they will pay back. It just made sense logically that someone would not take your money and misuse it , but would thrive to achieve their goal and would look into paying back to people who tried to help them grow.
