Founded in 2018, the ITTF Foundation was created by the International Table Tennis Federation as an independent nonprofit organization. The Foundation aims to create positive impacts through table tennis in communities worldwide. The ITTF Foundation operates through five programs to foster development through table tennis, contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The team tirelessly designs and implements initiatives that promote inclusivity, education, and empowerment, ensuring that the sport becomes a catalyst for positive social change. As a nonprofit organization we collaborate closely with local project implementation partners while we assist with planning, financial support, and knowledge sharing. Additionally, we connect with the Parkinson's community globally to promote the use of table tennis for enhancing well-being and health, particularly against neurodegenerative diseases.
The Kalaweit Association has been working for the protection of biodiversity in Indonesia since 1997. It creates protected areas and gives a second chance to animals victims of wildlife trafficking in Borneo and Sumatra. It works closely with local populations to protect their forests from destruction caused by palm oil plantations or the establishment of coal, gold or nickel mines. It has already saved more than 2,000 hectares of forest where exceptional biodiversity lives: gibbons, outan oranges, siamangs, nasics, Malay bears, Sumatra tigers, Asian tapirs, nebulous panthers, pangolins, etc. About 350 gibbons, siamangs, bears, crocodiles are placed in its 3 care centres, some will even be released. It employs 66 people in Indonesia, all employees are hired locally, and one in France. We are looking for financial support to enlarge the area of the forests we protect, one hectare costs between 1,200 and 1,400 depending on the area in which it is located. The plots are purchased from families who wish to sell them to us, with the agreement of the village leader. We propose to buy them at the market price, to protect them, unlike the palm oil companies that buy the land to destroy them and plant oil palm trees. The Dulan Reserve in Borneo, created by Kalaweit in 2019, is home to wildlife that has found refuge in it, there are 60 orang-outans, about 200 gibbons and many other species. In Sumatra, the creation of the Supayang Reserve by Kalaweit in 2012 allowed the Sumatra tigers to return to live there, they had disappeared from the area for several decades. Once the land was acquired by Kalaweit, everything was returned to the local population. Villagers can continue to benefit from the services provided by the forest (collection of rotting, fruit harvesting, etc.) but they can no longer hunt or cut trees there. We need to extend the Dulan Reserve by 1,000 hectares of forest and the Supayang reserve by 400 hectares.

For over 30 years, the Pacific Islands Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (PIANGO) has stood as a bold and unifying force for civil society across the Pacific region. Serving 24 member countries and territories, PIANGO is the regional secretariat for National Liaison Units (NLUs), which function as national civil society platforms that coordinate and amplify the voice of local communities, grassroots groups, and non-governmental organisations. Rooted in the Pacific's cultural values and principles of development effectiveness, PIANGO's work is guided by the vision of: "A United Pacific: Strengthening the Resilient Responsiveness of our Kainga for a Peaceful and Prosperous Vanua." Its mission is equally inspiring: "To support the creation of a secure enabling environment for strong, effective, accountable and adaptive institutions that provide inclusive representation and common voice platforms and structured mechanisms for policy influencing, rooted in Pacific cultural practices and values-through sustainable, equitable, and genuine partnerships for resilient development." This powerful mandate is brought to life through PIANGO's call for "Transformative Partnerships for a Resilient Sustainable Pacific", a call aligned with Agenda 2030 and grounded in uniquely Pacific approaches to development, resilience, and solidarity. PIANGO's work focuses on four strategic pillars: Governance and Leadership - Strengthening national platforms and cultivating visionary leaders who are grounded in community and capable of guiding resilient institutions. Voice - Amplifying community perspectives and ensuring vulnerable groups have meaningful influence on national, regional, and global policy-making. Approaches - Promoting Pacific-led and evidence-based approaches to development, rooted in indigenous knowledge, traditional practices, and critical research. Partnerships - Building inclusive, equitable, and long-term collaborations across civil society, governments, and donors to support a thriving, accountable civic space. In today's context of global uncertainty, climate risks, and shrinking civic space, PIANGO is committed to enabling local leadership, defending civic freedoms, and promoting people-centred, holistic development that reflects the hopes and wisdom of the Pacific peoples.
