Kiva has launched an Ambassador Community, and we’re inviting you to build it with us! Together, we can open even more doors to financial opportunity through word of mouth and community building.

As a Kiva Ambassador, you'd be Kiva's voice for financial inclusion, and you’ll impact even more lives. Every new person you introduce to Kiva can mean an entrepreneur funded, a child educated, a family flourishing, and a community transformed.

Your personal stories and experiences are far more powerful than any advertisement we could come up with. Since 2005, word of mouth has been our most effective way to grow our community of lenders. According to a recent lender survey, over 40% of lenders who tried Kiva for the first time heard about us from a friend or family member. Kiva advocates are making a tremendous impact!

You’ve likely already shared Kiva with your family and friends. Now, imagine extending that reach even further. Curious about what being a Kiva Ambassador entails? Check out the role and apply below.
