“We’re extremely grateful to The RWS Foundation for its support,” said our[f] Aimee Ansari, CEO, CLEAR Global. “Our vision is to help people who speak marginalized languages – who often lack life saving information in their language – to be understood, and also have the information they need in their daily lives. The RWS Foundation closely aligns with our vision, and we’re delighted to have their support as we look to unlock understanding for global citizens.”
RWS’s support is provided through The RWS Foundation, a charitable trust that aims to make a positive contribution to unlocking global understanding.
“Our new purpose is simple,” explains David Shrimpton, Independent Chair of The RWS Foundation. “We want to partner with people, organizations and charities globally to help break down language barriers, and progress in areas that have a lasting, positive impact on society. That’s why we have chosen CLEAR Global to be our first beneficiary of 2023.”
