Aline Sara is the co-founder and CEO of NaTakallam, an award-winning social enterprise that hires displaced and conflict-affected individuals as online tutors, teachers, and translators. With a background in journalism, Aline is working to disrupt the ways in which we typically think of humanitarian aid, and leverage the digital economy to promote sustainable solutions to major crises such as forced migration. Under Aline's leadership, NaTakallam has distributed $3,200,000+ in self-earned income to conflict-affected populations, notably refugees and their host communities, by connecting them to 16,000+ learners and clients worldwide. Along the way, NaTakallam fosters intercultural exchange and raises awareness of the daily challenges in conflict zones, notably through academic partnerships and services offered to both private and public sector organizations, such as the International Rescue Committee, Save the Children and Ben & Jerry's. While originally created to support Syrians teaching Arabic, NaTakallam's language sessions are currently offered in eight different Arabic dialects, English, French (with refugees from Congo DRC, Burundi, Guinea), Kurdish, Persian (with Iranians and Afghans) and Spanish (with Venezuelans and Central Americans). In 2022, NaTakallam added Ukrainian and Russian to its language offerings. Aline is a Cartier Women’s Initiative, Summit & Halcyon Fellow and has been a speaker at numerous high-level events, including TechCrunch Berlin & several OECD, UN, and World Bank events. She was named ‘Woman Entrepreneur of the Year’ at the Elle Impact Awards, winner of the World Bank Youth Summit, and regional winner of the MIT Inclusive Innovation Challenge (Asia). She is a passionate advocate for human and women's rights as well as intercultural exchange.
