When couples question the impact of their microfinance giving

My wife and I have been sending small loans to entrepreneurs through online platforms for three years, but lately we've been questioning whether we're actually helping or just making ourselves feel good about global inequality. She wants to keep going and increase our giving, I want to stop and find other ways to contribute, and we haven't talked honestly about what we're really trying to accomplish.
