Global Human Resources Director
ABOUT SIL GLOBAL
SIL Global is a community of local organisations that partner with minority language communities to help them use their languages to know God, learn freely, and live with dignity.
Many people around the world face hardship and discrimination because of the languages they speak or sign. We walk alongside 1,572 language communities in 119 countries to help turn those barriers of exclusion into bridges for flourishing.
Our work starts with communities, and the churches and organisations that serve them. They share their needs and goals with us. Then we work together to reach those goals.
