Is anyone aware of financing going on for the above?
I watched a show Jimmy's Global Harvesthttp://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qg54h on this new technique in Kenya,and read an article that someone is financing small farmers to buy these.
Does Kiva have a special group dealing with this,as I would like to lend in this direction.
Cheers

Here also is a video about a similar program in Tanzania:

"Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential. I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. That is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams." - President Barack Obama, June 4, 2009

BBC iPlayer videos cannot be viewed in North America, the licensing is only for UK.  Your access is allowed or denied based on your IP.

From the BBC website:

Can I use BBC iPlayer outside the UK?

Rights agreements mean that BBC iPlayer television programmes are only available to users to download or stream (Click to Play) in the UK. However, we are aware of demand for an international version.

The MFI partners Kiva work with decide which businesses are placed on Kiva.  An MFI can apply to work with Kiva, and this would be another way to bring this concept ahead.  Kiva would qualify the potential partners.
