Helped someone grow - 26th Day
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.
