NaTakallam
NaTakallam leverages technology to meet the needs of millions of highly educated, displaced persons with no access to income. Through our company, refugees can work as online tutors, teachers, cultural exchange instructors, and translators, providing customers with high-quality language services. This partnership is often a lifeline to displaced and conflict-affected individuals, who are now able to work regardless of their location or status. We also provide refugees with the training and mentorship needed to perform the services, which offer a pathway to sustainable income during and after displacement and in the early stages of resettlement.
As a social enterprise, our operations have collectively generated over $5,300,000. Of this, $3,200,000 has directly supported tutors and translators from conflict-affected and refugee backgrounds. Our autonomous revenue stems from partnerships with over 400 language partners. We've reached 16,000 users and collaborated with 300+ organizations and academic institutions, including notable entities like Ben & Jerry's, Meta, Twitter (X), WeWork, UNHCR, Women Deliver, Care, Columbia University, the University of Cambridge, and Yale University.
