German translator aid project supports reconstruction of a primary school in Italy
Muenster, Germany. In January 2010, after the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti, freelance translators from Germany and other countries founded the translator aid project Übersetzer-Hilfsprojekt (ÜHIPRO). Since then, the project has been supporting recognised relief organisations and volunteer initiatives, providing development and disaster aid. Each member pays one euro from each finished translation into a fund and then a collective donation is made by ÜHIPRO to selected organisations. Today, the ÜHIPRO project can also rely on the help of non-translators and enterprises willing to support their good cause.Our latest collective donation in July 2012 went to the town of Ostfildern, which among other causes, provides support for the rebuilding of a primary school destroyed during the earthquake in the Italian town of Mirandola.
Last year ÜHIPRO also made contributions to several relief organisations such as the German section of Doctors without Borders (aid to refugees in Libya), the German aid organisation “A Heart for Children” (famine in East Africa), Malteser Germany and Sr. Caelina’s children’s home in Ichinoseki (Japan) and Somaly Mam (fighting sexual slavery in Cambodia), to name but a few.
Whether you are a translator or not – if you want to receive up-to-date information, send us an email. Everyone can also support ÜHIPRO by choosing our members for their translation jobs.
The translator’s aid project "Uebersetzer-Hilfsprojekt" was established in Germany in January 2010. Its objective is emergency and disaster aid, but even long-term development aid projects are supported by money and goods donations.
