Economy of small-scale brings big rewards

There is no chance for peace in the world until everyone has a little piece of it, or at least has the opportunity to borrow a little capital to make a little piece of it work. Kiva is a brilliant micro-financing scheme that turns dreams into reality and hopelessness into happiness.

"This video follows the path of a $25 loan from London, England to Preak Tamao village, Cambodia. Kiva is a website that allows Internet users like you or I to lend money to people that need it in developing countries, with the aim of empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty. This is my first video, and the one that got me interested in shooting more," says the creator of this video, Kieran Ball. The video was shot entirely on a Canon G9 point-and-shoot and a Flip camera and edited in Final Cut Pro.
