Kiva micro-lending

I'm getting weirdly addicted to the Kiva micro-lending website - think one of those 'buy someone a goat' gifts, except you get to choose who gets the goat (or solar panel, or water filters) and they pay you back again so you can lend the money to someone else afterwards.

I've got a few active loans on there and an auto payment jobbie of a few dollars a month so that my credit will build up enough to make new loans after a while, esp as the current ones are starting to do repayments - loans are done in lots of US$25 spread across a lot of lenders and repaid in instalments over a period. Trouble is I've got $16 credit just sitting there now! Must... not... add... credit......
