After the stories and reports from Frontline/PBS, the site's servers went down. Its engineers and volunteers worked many hours to fix the problems. In the meantime, the whole country found out about the type of social works that the SF-based company is doing. They received an outpouring of support and pledges. At one point, requests were made to help Kiva.org buy some new servers to support the traffic.
Everyone is happy that the site is up. Many new people have signed up since then. But the site is not what it used to be. The engineers continue to work hard to get all the bells and whistles right. Registrations for lenders are open.
This is a great case of social entrepreneurship that most Americans will support. Help somebody across the world and get your money back after all is done!
