Is microfinance a smart way to park your savings?
vijayr: I've given 10 loans so far at Kiva, and 3 have been totally repaid (others are in various stages of repayment).  I don't think you should look at microfinance as investment options.  That said, there are a few micro finance organizations that give out a small percent of interest.  Microplace is one example.  But as noodle says, an online savings account would fetch you more.
