(BTB)
About the Project
The goal of Bakandamiya Translation Bureau is to expand access to knowledge by translating books and other educational resources into Hausa, one of Africa’s most widely spoken languages, with more than 200 million speakers worldwide. By making valuable knowledge available in Hausa, the bureau aims to reduce language barriers, promote literacy and support learning, creativity and intellectual development in Africa.
