$25 makes the planet go around

The site Kiva.org has become so popular that they're limiting donors to $25 per contribution.

With $25 you can lend money to a man or woman in a developing nation who is striving to better their life and their family's life by becoming an entrepreneur. Many of these people are women who are opening corner stores or are buying tools to increase their farm production so they can sell more at the market. When they repay your $25 loan, you can reinvest it in another project elsewhere in the world.

What kind of peace can Uncle Sam buy for $25?
