We need $965 AUD (R12,000) to translate Tumi Tiger into IsiZulu. It will cost the same amount, $965 (R12,000), to translate into IsiXhosa.

Cost of translating A Story of Four Friends, our follow-up program on resilience into 1 language: R4,440 ($358 AUD)

Both languages: R8,880 ($714 USD)

Recordings costs: R18,953 ($1,524 AUD) per language.

Why these two languages?

In the home of the Zulu nation, Kwazulu-Natal, trauma is referred to as an epidemic. And the language is spoken by 11 million+ people.

IsiXhosa is spoken next door, with a further 10 million 1st language and another 10 million 2nd language speakers.

We can escalate the impact of Tumi Tiger's work and ministry tremendously if we can translate our no. 1 trauma tool into these two languages.

Total Cost for Both Programs in Both Languages

R70,786 ($5,700 AUD)
