About Us
Purchases on this store generate commission payments that are then used to fund poor but eager entrepreneurs at Kiva.Org by members of the OpenSolaris open source community.
Kiva.org is a very popular non-profit organization that lets users lend to businesses in the developing world. Kiva.org allows its users to form communities (lending groups) around common interests and to do their lending as part of their lending group.
This project is responsible for managing all issues around the OpenSolaris lending group on Kiva.org. OpenSolaris community members who are also users of Kiva.org can now lend on behalf of themselves as members of the OpenSolaris Community.
While we understand that the benefit of this project to OpenSolaris will be very small, this project is more about doing something good by helping others.
