If I understand you correctly, you're asking about the challenges faced in directly engaging with individuals we're seeking to help. It's twofold. We receive requests from individuals all over the world. I mentioned 700 a few times. Those are the ones who are known to us. If we're talking about a number of individuals we would like to use for a measure, that would be a good way to start. Those individuals are coming from different languages, different backgrounds, and we are communicating with them solely in English. As we scale up, we're looking at different ways of connecting with those individuals based on their language ability and special needs.
I would say those are the first barriers we see in connecting with those individuals and understanding the level of persecution they are facing in their home countries. Usually it's religion-focused. It's focused on state and cultural practices. Those are the issues we're navigating when we're directly dealing with those individuals.
The individuals we're facing are fleeing. They are persecuted. They have limited time to reach out to us. Maintaining a dialogue and making sure we have all the information we need to verify these cases is sometimes a challenge, as is helping them get ready to travel.
Our organization is not a settlement agency. We operate as a triage of sorts. We provide some resources and make sure they are going where they can find support, but we can't be there to greet them at the door in every case around the world. There are some issues I have in making sure everyone we bring to safety is also living a fruitful life after they find a safe haven.
