Travel Subsidy Fund

For translators working with the Suri people in Ethiopia, chartered flights were crucial—for visits to the regional office, say, or importing grain after a dry season.

Villagers’ bullet wounds, too, and their son’s broken arm demanded spur-of-the-moment evacuations.

Thankfully, travel subsidies from JAARS helped foot the bill.

Otherwise, limited by their own pocketbooks, the team says transportation logistics would have swallowed at least 30% more time—and during emergencies, they would’ve had few options.

Their situation is painfully familiar to many translators and support personnel in remote areas, where even sporadic travel can be time-consuming, stressful and outrageously expensive. As travel costs escalate, teams are often unable to:

• Travel between remote villages and regional offices.
• Visit with consultants for training and guidance.
• Send children to quality schools.
• Reach emergency medical care.

By partnering with JAARS, you can help subsidize 35% of necessary travel for many teams—alleviating their financial burden and enabling them to bring God’s Word more quickly to isolated communities.
