There are over 100 million global forcibly displaced people including refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants. Nearly half of them can’t speak the language of their host country, understand the information they’re given or communicate with people trying to help them.
More than 25 million, nearly 10% of the US population, are limited-English proficient (LEP). Patients with LEP receive a lower quality of care, experience poorer health outcomes, and utilize fewer primary care services compared to patients proficient in English.
67% of patients faced a barrier when accessing healthcare from healthcare workers who did not speak the local language which resulted in reduced outcomes and adverse health effects.
Language access contributes to improved healthcare delivery, patient safety, and increased (up to 92%) satisfaction of both medical professionals and patients.
Your donations allow us to deliver comprehensive help to refugees affected by humanitarian crises worldwide when needed the most. It will help them receive medical aid, legal help, education, employment and emergency support.
Help us in our mission to eliminate language barriers for refugees & get refugee voices heard and understood.
