Don't call the world bank. They don't participate in micro loans at all. They're probably very much against them actually.
The Nobel Prize winner last year, Muhammad Yunus has set up an organization that does this called The Grameen Bank. As far as I know they're the only ones doing it right now. That would be the best place to go.

Call the World Bank or aid associations in those countries.

70,000 people have lent $7,000,000 in the last 18 months through kiva.org
You get to see the person you're lending to and read about the business or other need. Then you get a notice everytime, he or she makes a repayment. And, in 6-18 months, you get your money back. 99.7 % sure
