LendforPeace.org: Microfinance Initiative in Palestinian Territories

A new P2P microlending site has emerged with a specific focus on the Palestinian Territories. Started by two Jews and two Palestinians, LendforPeace.org starts with the premise that lifting Palestinians out of poverty will reduce violence.

For those interested in supporting the venture, you can sign up on their site now for email alerts, or check back on the site on February 5th, when they plan to launch.
