The Refugee Translation Project

Since the beginning of 2026, we’ve translated over 1,200 pages of documents for 140 clients.

Lucia now has the opportunity for a fair asylum hearing in immigration court.

Mamadou was able to submit high school transcripts and enroll in a CUNY degree program.

Aisha was granted a guardianship in family court so that she could apply for her special immigrant juvenile status.

These are only a few examples of how just 5 to 10 hours of written translation can change a life.

To continue providing these transformative services, we launched our Translating Words, Transforming Lives Fundraising Campaign!
