Truely a GREAT idea......
The only way in which such generosity could become even
more effective as a "micro-to-macro" institution, *might* be
if a "micro" based charity were to be established to distribute
the contributions / capital directly to the selected "macro" needy
( i.e. those seeking loans / those needing assistance ); thereby,
effectively eliminating the need to channel / funnel the contributions
thru a "macro" based organization to begin with.
( i.e. 100% application / no overhead expenses )
That way....the participating contributing nations within the
MicroSphere would have a much more "direct-effect", and a
"direct-connect" to those individuals in the "macro" who would
receive the benefits from the contributions.
( i.e. "micro-to-macro"...not..."micro-to-macro-to-macro" )
( i.e. cut out the "macro" Kiva "middleman" sort of speaking )
There would also be a more direct "micro-to-micro" foundation
of friendship established; as the mutual participation between
member micronations, would create a more connected unity,
and a much clearer atmosphere within the Greater MicroSphere.
Of course, such an undertaking...i.e...the establishment of a "micro"
based charity organization ( or any type of "micro" organization
for that matter )...would present an almost infinite list of issues
and problems; which would no doubt...end up as another Y.A.M.O.
( i.e.....Yet Another Micro Organization )
Once again.....a GREAT idea !!
