What We Stand For
Advocate, Innovate, Educate, Change
One of the main barriers for refugee and immigrant success is language. It is scientifically proven that leveraging a person’s strength in their native language helps them learn another language fast. Unfortunately most commercial products ignore Low Resource Languages mainly spoken by refugees and immigrants.
We believe in preserving and celebrating multilingual aptitude and build on a learner’s knowledge of another language when helping them learn. We support students by providing them multilingual resources and make learning fun by leveraging technology.
OUR VALUES
