That's great, Julia. Education Generation sounds like a wonderful organization using technology to increase access to higher education. Reminds me of KIVA.org, though with this group is not a loan but more like a grant if I'm correct. Regardless, fabulous idea!
I run a startup organization that works to alleviate poverty and improve adult education worldwide, so learning about Education Generation was right up my ally. I felt compelled to write a comment! I'm sure the students of Education Generation really appreciate your support.
Thanks for sharing you "act of kindness" with us.
Be well, Chanelle Carver Founder & Executive Director Literacy 'n' Poverty Project
Education Generation does give out grants and not loans, so you don't get your money back like Kiva.org. You do get updates about the students.
I really like this non-profit because investing in education has such a larger effect. These kids will now be able to finish schooling and get better jobs, and help their families (as well as be great role models for younger siblings). Many want to be teachers who will in turn teach other students.
