Our Mission
Global Anthem’s mission is simple yet transformative: to provide a universal language of understanding through intuitive gestures and prompts. We believe in enabling displaced individuals to communicate their feelings, circumstances, and basic needs effectively. By doing so, we aim to alleviate the immediate social and health challenges associated with displacement and make a profound impact on their lives.
Why do we need this?
The incoming refugee population represents massive logistical challenges for official and charitable bodies that process these individuals to ensure their temporary and longer-term welfare. One of the most significant challenges is in the area of communication. Refugees arrive with a range of educational abilities and different emotional states. Given the linguistic barriers, the challenge of communicating at the most fundamental level is often impossible. In the UK, the Government has not addressed this issue ‘head-on’. However, it spends significant sums on relatively ineffective translation services and other schemes.
