Background

CLEAR Global is a US non-profit organization supporting people to get information and be heard, whatever language they speak.

We seek to build real partnerships with organizations that understand the importance of good communication in the right language and format. Our partnership program has been developed to provide NGOs and UN agencies with access to the TWB Platform and the TWB Community of over 200,000 linguists via a comprehensive range of language services. 

Some partner organizations sign a 12-month partnership agreement that provides access to the services. Others reach out to us for one-off services. The level of service and the cost is tied to the level of internal effort required to manage the partnership.

Increasingly we also provide professional services for standalone projects, or as part of a partnership agreement.
