The World without Language Barriers

Mojofiti.com is a global network that gathers individuals from around the world by promoting communication among people of different nationalities. It has recently created the Mojofiti Foundation, an independent organization whose goal is to help non-profit organizations provide more assistance worldwide by breaking down language barriers. It is a unique platform for charity and communication.

“For nonprofits working across multilingual environments, language barriers cause unnecessary expenses, confusion, inefficiencies and wasted time internally between employees working in different countries. Language barriers can also negatively affect a nonprofit’s constituency and donor base”, according to a Reuters article.

Mojofiti assists in two ways: First, it allows free use to NGOs of its Mojofiti-powered real-time language translation-based solutions. This allows non-profits to communicate better and spend more time and energy on actually helping those in need. Second, Mojofiti raises funds and provides grants to organizations that need it most.

“More than a billion people suffer from lack of proper nutrition, safe drinking water, decent sanitation facilities, healthcare services, shelter, education, and many other basic human needs, yet help is often stifled because of inefficiencies created by language barriers,” said Herb Allison, managing director of the Mojofiti Foundation. “Global organizations working in multilingual environments to provide humanitarian relief depend on having the ability to communicate efficiently both inside and outside the organization, with their entire constituency, especially directly with people in need. Our goal is to remove these barriers and empower nonprofit organizations with tools that will help expand their reach many times over.”

Mojofiti is using the power of social networking and crowdsourcing by allowing “Mojofitians” (as they like to call their members) to register and be part of the family. Members can help work on the Mojofiti open source translation software, join groups, blog and make friends with like-minded people that want to diminish global language barriers.
