  • “We have been able to create human-sounding AI text-to-speech capability for Amharic from Ethiopia and Tok Pisin from Papua New Guinea because of More Languages Foundation’s support of the AI Pathsay project at the BYU MATRIX lab.”

  • “Thousands are lining up for entrepreneurship training in their own language in Bolivia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. Prior to our work with More Languages Foundation, we rewarded groups with our business materials once they learned a second language. But pilots done with More Languages Foundation take out that step by translating the course directly into the target language. By helping more people get translated business concepts in their own language, More Languages Foundation is paving a shorter road to individual prosperity. This is long overdue.”

  • "This [Kekchi] preschool program has been a vital resource for various communities and children in rural areas, particularly by incorporating instruction in their native language, Kekchi. Using the children's mother tongue serves as a fundamental foundation, allowing them to learn about their social environment and build upon their existing knowledge."
