What is the Kiva Peer Review Program?One of the New York Times Magazine’s “Top Ideas of 2006,” Kiva.org is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to an entrepreneur in the developing world.

The Kiva Peer Review Program offers the opportunity to use your professional translation skills to alleviate poverty, contribute to the Kiva Translation Program with a flexible timeframe, and mentor Kiva Translators.

Volunteering from your own home, you will work with a small group of Kiva volunteer translators to help them build their translation skills and quality level. You will have access to posted translations and will be given a framework for providing feedback to them at your convenience. This program is designed for professional translators with variable schedules, so that you can participate during your down time.
