NaTakallam is a social enterprise that connects refugees/displaced persons (focusing for the time being on Syrian and Iraqi refugees) to remote work opportunities in the language sector. To date, more than 110 displaced persons in 13 countries have self-generated $320,000 through translation jobs or by connecting with over 3500 unique users,
who sign up as individuals or through university partnerships (including Emory, GW, Tufts, Duke, NYU and more) for language practice or also for cultural exchange. The platform caters to students in need of affordable and flexible Arabic practice and direct access to native speakers on the one hand, while providing displaced individuals with a source of income, marketable skills, and enriching work opportunity on the other – in an effort to combat the workforce restrictions and language barriers faced in their host country. We also provide translation and interpretation services, and our clients include the International Rescue Committee, Malala Fund and Danish Refugee Council.
