Small World Microloans is a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 that provides microloans to entrepreneurs in developing countries as an alternative to donations, connecting donors directly to borrowers. The organization aims to defeat poverty by serving those most in need, rewarding self-sufficiency, forming effective lending groups, and balancing loans and savings in a cycle where donors can recirculate loan funds to multiple entrepreneurs.
