Scott's Kiva Stuff
I've made some online tools for gathering Kiva related information in some convenient methods that you might find handy. If you find any of these tools/feeds helpful, please consider tossing a loan to the Poverty2Prosperity.org Kiva Lending Team. It would be very kind and much appreciated. Most of the feeds below are serviced through a paid account at feedity.com so as to assure uptime and frequent updates. All costs are covered by Scott and the fees are flat no matter how many people use them, so no worries! There are no fees to you to use any of these feeds.
