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.

Children of Prisoners Europe

An estimated 800,000 children in the European Union are separated from an imprisoned parent on any given day. Yet few people are aware of the impact that a parent's incarceration can have on a child. Children separated from a parent in prison frequently experience multiple emotional and social difficulties associated with their parent's incarceration. They not only have to cope with the parent's absence and the disruption of the child-parent bond, but are also vulnerable to social exclusion, financial hardship, discrimination and shame. Children of Prisoners Europe (COPE) is a pan-European network which encourages innovative perspectives and practice to ensure that the rights of these children (as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Convention on Human Rights) are fully respected and that action is taken to secure their well-being and healthy development. The network is a membership-based organisation made up of non-governmental organisations and individuals across Europe and beyond, linked by a staff team based at its French headquarters. Raising awareness among child-related agencies, prison services and policymakers to the specific needs of children of prisoners and promoting initiatives that take these needs into account, the organisation is seeking to: - Expand programmes that support the child-parent relationship and help minimise violence for children with an imprisoned parent; - Introduce the child's perspective throughout the criminal justice process, from arrest to resettlement; - Foster cross-sectoral collaboration among public and private agencies involved in supporting and making decisions about children of prisoners; - Obtain better information and greater visibility for prisoners' children and influence policy at the national, European and international level on their behalf; - Promote the exchange of initiatives, expertise and good practice for children with imprisoned parents; - Enhance the competence of professionals within the field. Working to foster the promotion and provision of policies, frameworks and meaningful action on behalf of children affected by parental incarceration to protect their development and well-being, our aim is to ease the burden of the imprisonment of a parent on the child.

Taghyeer Organization - We Love Reading

Taghyeer Organization/ We Love Reading Program is an innovative model that provides a practical, cost efficient, sustainable, grassroots approach empowering communities from low and mid income communities around the world to create changemakers through reading. WLR supports the activism of local volunteers to increase reading levels among children 2-10 by focusing on the readaloud experience to instill the love of reading for pleasure among children to become lifelong learners. We aim to create system change. We create changemakers by recruiting and training adults and youth from local communities to provide read-aloud sessions for local children in safe, public spaces. Each year, WLR volunteers read to tens of thousands of children in public parks, community centers, mosques and other faith-based settings, nurseries, refugee camps, and other locales. We serve diverse populations and communities irrespective of gender, religion, social status, disability, literacy level, educational experience, etc. The training is either implemented in face-to-face settings or via our online platform to allow reaching wider audience of people wanting to volunteer and become reading ambassadors.

Exitcirklen - Veje ud af psykisk vold ( Exitcircle - Ways out of psychological violence)

Mission Our mission is to strengthen people in order to help them live a life without emotional abuse and social control. We challenge the vicious circles of abuse that keep victims stuck in a pattern of emotional abuse and social control. Through acquiring the right cognitive skills and sharing life stories with others in similar situations, it is possible to find a way out of the vicious circles of abuse. Vision Our vision is to make The Exit Circle a nationwide program, available for all victims of emotional abuse. Via our preventive work with help to self-help therapy groups we eliminate the risk that the emotional abuse will escalate, and by doing so, save society a great deal of money. Values We have a holistic approach and base our work on the values: Community, Empowerment and Breaking down Hierarchies. Community A solution to observations of loneliness and the taboo around abuse. Storytelling - sharing your story openly in a community as part of the healing and recovery process is unique to The Exit Circle and is acknowledged around the world as an effective form of therapy. There is silence around emotional abuse because it is still a taboo. Taboos and silence are broken by openness and honesty. Instead of individuals secretly struggling alone, it is possible to help each other in the community. Empowerment A way of mobilizing resources in the users themselves. In a self-help group, each individual is not just a victim or a client, but also a person, sharing his or her experiences and thereby lending a helping hand and spreading hope to others who are in a similar situation. Breaking down Hierarchies A way of helping the participants cope - a way of supporting them and helping them support each other in coping with emotional abuse. The groups are based on the belief that everyone can contribute to the community and that gives The Exit Circle's self-help groups the potential to break helper-victim dichotomies.
