Project details

What we need
  • Specific copy from one document (up to 1000 words) translated from one language to one other of the Organization's choice
  • Note: If you need more than 1000 words translated or copy translated into more than one language, please post additional versions of this project
Additional details

We're hoping to have a native Spanish speaker or very fluent Spanish speaker translate these materials. Bonus points if you've worked as a translator professionally.

What we have in place
  • This is a short and sweet translation project. We already have the copy and a list of common terms. The copy needs to be translated from Spanish into English. The stories are about the farmers we partner with in Central America.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,768 , allowing us to help more farmers fight climate change and improve their lives through sustainable farming.

The success of our organization depends on being able to share the stories of the farmers who partner with us with the donors who support them. Without your help, we cannot translate their stories. Your skills will empower us to share impactful stories that motivate people to take action.

Our mission

We preserve the environment by partnering with families to improve well-being through sustainable farming.

What we do

In Central America, inadequate farming practices cause devastating poverty and deforestation. The harmful cycle of slash-and-burn farming not only destroys tropical forests but does not produce enough to meet the basic needs of a farmer's family.

Sustainable Harvest International helps people + the planet.

With generous support from donors, we've worked with families in rural farming communities in Central America since 1997. Using organic vegetable gardens, wood-conserving stoves, seed saving and a host of other projects, our local field trainers work together with families, individuals and communities to preserve our planet's tropical forests while overcoming poverty. Our five-phase approach to solving the agricultural, ecological and economic problems of Central America is innovative, hands-on, and long-term.
