Kiva does microlending in poor countries which normal credit lenders dont support. The idea is you can lend the same money over and over again to help entrepreneurs start a business which helps lift them out of poverty.

without even mentioning the rate of default on bitcoins on kiva (try to explain LiqPay to a Haitian), i think you might have trouble stirring up demand for bitcoin-denominated loans.  "Here's 200 bitcoins.  Go buy yourself a goat."
