Story

Every day, we receive information from health agencies about how we can protect ourselves from COVID-19. News media explain the impact. Businesses establish guidelines to help us continue working during the pandemic. We rely on these communications to keep us safe and informed. However, people who speak marginalized languages do not have equal access to these important communications. Access to credible information can be a matter of life and death, yet it can be hard to findeven for speakers of majority languages.

TWB is helping people get information they need in a language and format they understand. We are addressing the injustice people face based on the languages they speak.

Our work has never been more important.

That's why TWB is fundraising with a goal of raising $100,000 this holiday season. Will you help us to build a more just world?

Your contribution helps us provide critical language support where it is most needed. It helps us develop cutting-edge technology like Uji, our AI chatbot, an innovative tool for multilingual COVID-19 communications. It allows us to build stronger infrastructure to train and engage our vibrant translator community, who have already translated over 5 million words related to COVID-19. With your support, TWB and our partners across the globe will curb the COVID-19 infodemic and do our best to make sure no ones voice is left unheard because of language barriers.

We need you to help us bring more voices, and more languages, to the global conversation about COVID-19, equality, and our future. We need you to inspire others to care and to give in these uncertain times.

2020 has not been an easy year. Let's work together to use language to build a more just world in 2021.

TWB envisions a world where knowledge knows no language barriers.
