The Humanitarian Innovation Fund announces TWB as a winner of its innovation initiative.

DANBURY, CT USA – 18 October 2016. Translators without Borders is honored to be one of three innovation teams selected by the Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) to accelerate our journey to scale. The TWB Words of Relief program, first piloted in 2013 and 2014, with an initial HIF grant, has grown significantly, providing translation and language services to our partners in a number of protracted and sudden onset crises. This funding recognizes language and communications as critical tools in the humanitarian toolbox and gives TWB the opportunity to scale the Words of Relief program to empower more affected populations to recover from crisis. Rebecca Petras, TWB’s Head of Innovation, comments, “It is particularly exciting to have the support and guidance from HIF, as well as the partnerships with the other two selected innovation teams, over the next two years as we reach scale with our project.” – READ MORE
