Thanks to the Internet, small donors and lenders are finding it easier help entrepreneurs in poor countries, the BBC reports. The Web-based group Global Giving enables private donors to match up with grassroots projects around the world, ranging from financing goats for a herder in Uganda to helping an Indian seamstress open a shop. A similar site is called Kiva.
