World Federation of the Deaf

he World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) is an international non-governmental organisation representing and promoting approximately 70 million deaf people's human rights worldwide. The WFD is a federation of deaf organisations from 134 nations; its mission is to promote the human rights of deaf people and full, quality and equal access to all spheres of life, including self-determination, sign language, education, employment and community life. WFD has a consultative status in the United Nations and is a founding member of International Disability Alliance (IDA). At its recent World Congress in Jeju, South Korea, WFD members (136) approved the WFD strategic direction 2023-2030 and Action Plan 2023-2027. Important themes are covered in these 2 documents which strive to ensure that we create access for all deaf people to all ways of life in "a world where deaf people everywhere can sign anywhere" (vision). Furthermore, our mission is to work towards the full realisation of linguistic rights and human rights in all areas of life, with full recognition and implementation of these rights across local, national and international levels. To realise our mission and vision, the following are part of our Action Plan 2023-2027: Building Capacity across the Globe: ensuring increased participation of women, youth and underrepresented communities; provide effective capacity building projects to countries who are not yet members to assist them with creating their own national deaf associations so that they can represent themselves in their countries; Putting Deaf people on the Agenda: the WFD will continue to strive to put deaf human rights at the forefront of all representation internationally, including at the UN; we will effectively promote International Week of Deaf people and be ready to response to deaf people's needs in times of crises, disasters and war. Realising nothing about us without us: the WFD continues to be the leading authority for deaf people and sign languages and has committed to developing resources to assist deaf people raise awareness in their countries. Achieving Sign Language Rights for all: National sign languages are fundamental to achieving deaf people's human rights. We will aim to assist our member states in promoting the legal recognition of signed language in the country and advocate for early childhood language acquisition and inclusive multilingual education policies. Investing in a strong and sustainable organisation: to carry out our mission and vision we need greater investment in our secretariat and regional secretariat, expand our donor base, increase visibility and fundraising activities so that our organisation can carry on its important global work.

The person in need is at the center of our activity. We serve their physical, psychological, social and economic needs. Our aim is to promote and improve people's health and quality of life, as well as improve their opportunities for inclusion in society, without distinction based on gender, beliefs or origin, to create a fairer and supportive society. Our main value is hospitality, being welcoming. San Juan de Dios has 80 centers throughout Spain, from which we work in various areas such as: hospitalized children, people in a homeless situation, people with mental illness, people with disabilities, people in a situation of dependency, people who have migrated, refugees, etc. In Valencia (city where the project with FORD will be developed), we focus on homeless people, whom we accompany to create opportunities that allow them to develop their life project, always taking into consideration their desires and needs. We have an Inclusion Residential Center (IRC) with 50 places for adult people and 50 more places in shared apartments for individuals and families. We have recently opened two Social Emergency Center (CUS) that, through the offer of a temporary emergency housing solution, searches to prevent people in extreme vulnerability from suddenly finding themselves on the street. Apart from offering a shelter, we develop different programs to meet the specific needs of each person: health issues (physical, mental, emotional), access to rights, training and employment, as well as community ties. All of these, are important areas to encourage having an autonomous and stable life project.

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.

Associacio PlasticFreeWave

We live in a time when plastic pollution poses one of the most urgent threats to our oceans, our ecosystems, and ultimately our own health. Faced with this environmental crisis, we at PlasticFREEwave believe that action must begin not just with clean-up efforts, but with education, awareness, and personal responsibility. Our mission is rooted in the conviction that lasting change happens when people understand their connection to nature - and to each other. We argue that the problem is not only the overuse of plastic, but also a widespread lack of awareness about its impact. That's why we focus on engaging people of all ages through workshops, talks, school programs, and beach clean-ups. We create spaces where individuals can learn, reflect, and take action - because only through informed minds and inspired hearts can we shift habits and rebuild our relationship with the planet. Our mission also goes deeper than environmental activism. We believe that the journey toward a plastic-free world is also a path of personal growth. As we learn to care for our environment, we also learn to care for ourselves. It is in this intersection - between sustainability and self-awareness - that true transformation begins. In short, we see our work as both practical and philosophical. We clean natural spaces, but we also challenge mindsets. We reduce waste, but we also raise consciousness. And above all, we believe that a plastic-free future is possible - if we each choose to become part of the wave.
