Translations Fund

In 1997, Hesperian began a Translations Fund to encourage the adaptation and translation of our health materials in order to distribute them more widely and reach a greater number of people.

The Translations Fund provides seed grants (averaging $7,500) to enable groups to translate and produce sample Hesperian materials, which they could then use to secure additional funding from larger donors. We provide electronic versions of the texts and illustrations, as well as offering limited technical advice.

Our books have been translated, or are in the process of being translated, into over 120 languages worldwide from Haitian Creole to Kiswahili to Dari to Tibetan to Quechua.
