myKRO.org Details
myKRO.org was started in the spring of 2008 with the goal of increasing awareness for the concept of microfinance. It stemmed largely from discovering Kiva.org and realizing the impact that $25 can make in the lives of those in developing countries. The world of microfinace is undiscovered by the general population due to the lack of coverage by the mainstream media, and even the online world. There was no central source for information relating to microfinance that could be found in early 2008, so myKRO.org was born. We are bringing together the voices of volunteers, employees of NGO's, political leaders, and world travelers who have 1st hand experience and knowledge about microfinance.Mission: Inspire the world's elite minority to actively empower the world’s underprivileged majority. Through an online community, encourage information flow that promotes increased awareness and knowledge of microfinance as a poverty-fighting tool.What does the name myKRO mean? myKRO.org originated from a combination of English and Bengali words. The phrase "Khudro Riner Ontore" means Inside Microfinance in Bengali, which abbreviates to KRO. To demonstrate the importance of the personal nature of microfinance, the "my" was added. Of course, the fact that myKRO happens to sound like micro didn't hurt.Either by reading and educating yourself, or contributing your knowledge and experiences, we hope you join us.
