I forgot to mention this, but every Crash Course video is now available for download for teachers and students who can't access YouTube online at http://thecrashcourse.com/ On the topic of kiva working to get better outcomes with their microfinance partners: One of the big problems facing microfinance is that while access to banking services and inexpensive credit does help individuals to grow business, it hasn't been successful at reducing poverty across a social order. Absolute poverty is EXTREMELY complicated, and it's very difficult to sort out which levers need to be pulled to reduce it in a community, but kiva is now focusing much more on experimenting with more levers, from zero interest loans to working with organizations that approach poverty holistically instead of just functioning as banking institutions.
