Two thirds of the 7,000+ languages spoken today do not have a written form. In many low- and middle-income countries, colonial languages like English or French are the teaching medium, but that doesn’t mean that the majority are comfortable reading and writing them.

Everyone deserves the right to communicate in the language they speak. On December 10th, we celebrate #HumanRightsDay. Millions of people are excluded from basic human rights such as health, education, and crisis support simply because they speak a language that technology doesn't understand.

Since the beginning, our mission has been to ensure people access vital information, no matter what language they speak. As technology advances, speakers of a handful of languages have increased access to information and resources, while those who speak marginalized languages are left behind.

When emergency warnings, aid applications, and recovery services arrive in the wrong language, we're abandoning the communities most vulnerable to climate change. Climate action must be multilingual, or it will fail the people who need it most.

CLEAR Global believes that real impact comes from combining human expertise with scalable tools. This giving season, you can join us in building responsible AI that speaks every language, with humanity at the center. Do not let AI leave people behind. Act now. Donate today: clearglobal.org/donate

The language services and humanitarian sectors have something in common: both are going through severe changes, from the widespread use of machine technology as a replacement for humans to drastic funding cuts. The people behind these industries have been bearing the weight of these pressures.
