It seems like Kiva is a company with a great idea at it's heart, but it sounds like it needs a little bit of revamping when it comes to the process of lending.

Fortunately, Kiva has proven itself to be a loan-worthy investment by professional microfinance groups. Can't wait to see how it's development pans out.

Kiva's effort to link willing donors from more developed countries with small business in less developed ones is laudable. For most of them this kind of finance is the only kind they are able to get. But if the process is slow and frustrating, donors will back down because, as I understood the system, it's not done for profit but for charity.
