Language shapes the human experience, from our first words to our last. It frames everything around us: from our news, safety and rights, to songs and stories around the holiday table. Sometimes, language is a matter of life and death.

Story

This holiday season, consider supporting Translators without Borders (TWB). We have decided to run this fundraiser because TWB believes in a world which knows no language barriers. They work with a network of 30,000 volunteer translators and harness cutting-edge language technology to give power and a voice back to communities in crisis, who lack access to information in their own language. Their work benefits people who are poor, less literate, and come from under-served languages, as well as enabling other non-profits to communicate effectively when supporting people around health epidemics, disasters, womens rights and safety. Our goal is to fundraise $2500 by December 6. Please support us, spread the word about the campaign and the importance of language.
