The document proposes creating an eBay-like online marketplace to connect individual donors with microfinance institutions (MFIs) and qualified micro-entrepreneurs seeking small business loans. It would utilize PayPal to collect donations and distribute small "mini-loans" that would eventually fund larger, lower-cost loans from MFIs. This would help MFIs access more affordable capital while allowing donors to personally support specific micro-entrepreneurs. Key details include leveraging existing MFI processes to keep costs low and repayment rates high.
