Kiva Lender: Naomi

Location: San Francisco, CA United States
Occupation: Portuguese Translator

I loan because: As Wendell Berry said, "A community economy is not an economy in which well-placed persons can make a 'killing.' It is an economy whose aim is generosity and a well-distributed and safeguarded abundance."
About me: When I'm not volunteering with Kiva, I translate in the areas of medicine and public health, international development, education, technology, and the arts.
As Kiva's Translation Program Manager, I work with incredible translation volunteers from around the world, making entrepreneurs' ideas accessible in English.
