Our Track Record with the UN

Maven has been working with UN organizations since 2016. With several agencies, our cooperation has continued for up to 10 years and remains active today. Our work covers both interpretation, including technical support, and translation—often within the same long-term engagement.

On the humanitarian side, we work with UNHCR and IOM on asylum interviews and field operations, where accuracy and sensitivity are essential.
