Ghana Institute of Linguistics, Literacy and Bible Translation
Mother Tongue Day
February 21 is International Mother Tongue Day. There are many reasons to celebrate it, including those from the Bible
Translator’s creed
We develop Ghana's languages, do literacy and translate the Bible because of what we believe.
"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart!"
- Nelson Mandela
Leadership
Institutional representation on the Board promotes our aim to embed our work in the national context and deepen relationships with Ghanaian churches and other Ghanaian institutions. In May 2010, GILLBT transitioned from a membership-based Executive Committee (EC) to a Board of Directors.
Partners
GILLBT maintains a broad range of partnerships: at the crucial grassroots project level they express our concern for grassroots empowerment; at the national-level they articulate our Ghanaian identity; at the international level they express our networking with likeminded organisations.
Services
Our two guesthouses, located in Accra and Tamale are open to the public. Both offer facilities for conferences, seminars, workshops or similar events.
The GILLBT Printing Press in Tamale handles a wide range of print needs for events, businesses and organisations.
GILLBT, in partnership with other stakeholders, facilitates access to God’s Word in the mother tongue in Ghana and beyond through linguistic research, Bible translation, Scripture Use, literacy and community development.
