NGO - Non Profit Organisations Translations

We are official long-term contractors of the United Nations, and are a trusted partner for some of the largest NGOs worldwide

At Intertranslations we can help you find the best way to reach your target audience.

Communicating with overseas staff and volunteers in their native languages is a key issue for both non governmental organisations (NGO) and intergovernmental organisations (IGO). IGOs are international organisations that have been created through a treaty, involving two or more nations working together towards a common goal.

From poverty, hunger and human rights to gender discrimination, child labour and trafficking, these organisations fight for global causes. This means that the messages of NGOs and IGOs need to reach a global audience.
