It is through language that we understand God, ourselves and the world around us. However, 25% of the world’s people are left out because of language-related barriers. SIL works tirelessly to improve the lives of people in almost 100 countries because we are eager for the day when all people enjoy equal access to education, to socio-economic opportunities, and to resources for spiritual growth - no matter what language they speak or sign.
