I tried a Google search but nobody seems geared up for that kind of donation, while the old ladies at my local charity shops would have…

I'm a big fan of micro finance and have been on the look out for an alternative to Kiva where the loans were transacted in British sterling. At last, I've found one. It's called Deki and operates just like Kiva, but in good ol' Blighty money. Just thought people might like to know that, in case you thought Kiva was the…
