To the translators and language lovers among us, how important do you think language is in the humanitarian response to the four famines crisis? During a crisis, relief workers and affected populations must understand each other. Yet language barriers are everywhere. English is not the language of those starving in this 'four famine' crisis. Collectively, the 20 million people in danger speak at least ten major languages. Information saves lives when it is in the right language. Language should be the solution, not the problem. Support Translators without Borders to ensure that people have access to vital information, in a language they can understand.
