CLEAR Global welcomes The RWS Foundation as Sapphire sponsor for 2023

Garden City, ID, USA, – 20 February 2023 – CLEAR Global is proud to announce that The RWS Foundation[a], a unique, world-leading provider of technology-enabled language, content and intellectual property services, has been named Sapphire Sponsor for 2023.

As Sapphire sponsor of CLEAR Global, RWS will support the organization through a number of key humanitarian efforts and initiatives that will help people around the world to gain access to vital information, and be heard, whatever language they speak.

Ongoing support will include help with translation, localization and revision of content with a particular focus on crisis support, as well as managing large-scale projects, providing training for the TWB community with over 100,000 members[b][c][d][e] and helping CLEAR Global with the analysis of data to ensure the highest translation standards are maintained for all of their responses worldwide.

“We’re extremely grateful to The RWS Foundation for its support,” said our[f] Aimee Ansari, CEO, CLEAR Global. “Our vision is to help people who speak marginalized languages – who often lack life saving information in their language – to be understood, and also have the information they need in their daily lives. The RWS Foundation closely aligns with our vision, and we’re delighted to have their support as we look to unlock understanding for global citizens.”

RWS’s support is provided through The RWS Foundation, a charitable trust that aims to make a positive contribution to unlocking global understanding.

“Our new purpose is simple,” explains David Shrimpton, Independent Chair of The RWS Foundation. “We want to partner with people, organizations and charities globally to help break down language barriers, and progress in areas that have a lasting, positive impact on society. That’s why we have chosen CLEAR Global to be our first beneficiary of 2023.”
