The World Transplant Games Federation

Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.

Les Oiseaux migrateurs

The mission of the association Les Oiseaux Migrateurs is to create a collaborative space organised around diasporas, making the link with the African continent. We federate an international network of artists, designers, entrepreneurs, students, researchers, innovators, architects, academics, brands and decision-makers from all over the world - to support and empower international youth. Ideal for learning, experimenting and prototyping sustainable and scalable solutions to the challenges our communities may face. Union de la Jeunesse Internationale is the community center created by Les Oiseaux Migrateurs in 2022, with a multidisciplinary and contemporary program that supports emerging diaspora talent and provides a platform for creative and entrepreneurial development. Breaking away from the "bourgeois hierarchy" of the arts and resolutely turned towards interculturality, the Union de la Jeunesse internationale offers an ambitious program of exhibitions, debates and workshops. The idea is to provide a platform for expression and knowledge-sharing for young people, and above all to create an avant-garde venue capable of taking the "pulse of what's happening in the world today", with an emphasis on diasporic cultures. It aims to encourage and connect creative people, entrepreneurs and thinkers by providing them with tools such as an exhibition hall, a workshop space, a radio station and a library.

Oxfam GB

Oxfam is a global movement of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't inevitable. It's an injustice which can, and must, be overcome. We're dedicated to building a just and safer world focusing on people's rights. We're passionate about ending poverty and helping to rebuild the lives affected by it. It's an enormous undertaking but we also have people on our side - talented and committed partners, volunteers, supporters and staff who share the same values. We aim to save lives by responding quickly with aid and protection during emergencies, empower people to work their own way out of poverty and campaign for lasting change. We have been saving and changing lives for seventy years now and know that tackling poverty is only possible when we are helping people to secure their fundamental human rights - the right to life and security, the right to a sustainable livelihood, the right to essential services, the right to be heard and the right to equity (in particular, the rights of women). We work at all levels - global and local, with international governments and global institutions, local communities and individuals - to make sure that these rights are protected and that the best solutions to people's suffering are implemented. Our values as an organisation are founded upon our experiences. We know that poverty can only be overcome once the fundamental human rights of impoverished others are secured and our three main values as an organisation - empowerment, accountability, inclusiveness - reflect this. Empowerment - our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen. Accountability - our purpose driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable; we believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions. Inclusiveness - we are open to everyone and embrace diversity; we believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
