Description

In this project we provide translation services to refugees and migrants staying in closed refugee centres in Poland (and outside them). Providing translation is essential in situations such as a medical appointment, a therapy session, a visit to an office or renting a flat. We want to help refugees to become independent and better integrated into Polish society. In this way, we support people staying in the refugee centres in Białystok, Dębak and Przemyśl, among others. At the same time, we provide employment for interpreters with migration experience and activate refugees professionally. Thanks to this project, we also help other organisations, which can outsource translations to people from our base and fully concentrate on their activities. The direct beneficiaries of our project are people with refugee experience. These are mainly people who speak only their mother tongue, who are staying in (or outside) refugee centres and who, due to armed conflict, human rights violations or dire economic circumstances, are seeking refuge in Poland. We also support people who have been in Poland for some time and have sufficient language skills to act as interpreters. The recipients of our activities are also those NGOs and institutions that otherwise would have to search for interpreters on their own.
