Small World Microloans is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 that is committed to defeating poverty by connecting donors in developed countries directly with entrepreneurs in developing countries through microloans rather than donations. The organization forms effective microloan groups that balance loans and savings to serve those most in need while rewarding innovation and self-sufficiency. Donors can select entrepreneurs to loan to, Small World distributes and monitors the loans, entrepreneurs repay the loans which donors can then loan to another entrepreneur, creating a cycle of success.
