Fundraising Campaign

Over 200,000 people have arrived in New York City within the last two years seeking shelter and safety. Most recently, the city has received more than 40,000 people fleeing from violence in Guinea, Mauritania, Senegal, Sudan, and other African countries. The main obstacles in the city for new arrivals from Africa are shelter limits, employment, and a lack of language access. 

The Refugee Translation Project has already added ten additional languages, including Bambara, Pulaar, Wolof, and Susu to accommodate the language needs of people both in and out of the shelter system. 

Our Summer of Refuge 2024 fundraising campaign will support this critical work. Help us provide better access to translation and interpretation by supporting our Summer of Refuge 2024 campaign. Language access is a crucial step toward freedom and safety for all.
