Pressrelease

Care to Translate is proud to announce the onboarding of the Italian nonprofit organization A.Cross Onlus to its language platform. A.Cross, derived from the combination of "Association" and "Cross" symbolizing the intersection of cultures and people in today's world, is dedicated to fostering equal opportunities and social justice in Italy and other countries.

Founded on the principles of sharing, professionalism, and extensive experience in Africa and Latin America, A.Cross serves as a cultural mediator striving to create a plural world where everyone has access to equal opportunities and social justice. Through its various initiatives, A.Cross actively listens to community needs, collaborates with public and private entities, supports local practices, promotes social innovation, and ensures transparency in its operations.

"We are thrilled to partner with Care to Translate in our mission to promote equality, social justice, and cultural understanding. This collaboration will enable us to expand our reach and make a greater impact on the communities we serve."

A.Cross will utilize the medical translation tool to communicate with the asylum seekers they support. The organization operates in three asylum seeker centers in Italy, where they assist individuals with various health needs, including general visits, recovery from the often perilous journey to Italy, and vaccinations.  

"At Care to Translate, we are committed to supporting organizations like A.Cross that are dedicated to making a positive impact on society." says Maja Magnusson, CEO of Care to Translate.

"We are excited to welcome A.Cross to our Care to Translate platform and look forward to working together to break down language barriers and foster cross-cultural communication."
