OUR MISSION.Our primary mission is to help children growing up in institutionalized homes prepare for life outside the home once they reach the age of 18. We offer support programs that increase a child's opportunity to become a productive and financially independent young adult in their community. This means helping kids develop and hone critical skills such as language, writing, digital literacy, etc., and ultimately increase confidence levels that can lead to new opportunities and choices in the future. Providing tutoring support, internship opportunities, as well as guidance on university/technical school options will offer children another critical layer of support as they start to make plans for their future. Developed skill sets, solid communication abilities, and a thorough understanding of their options will help set kids on the right path towards successful independence. This is no easy task for any child, but it can prove especially challenging for kids without continual 1:1 attention. It is our hope that by providing educational and mentoring-based support, we will be improving their overall chances.

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.

As a member of the global network Plan International, the NGO Plan International France works alongside girls to ensure their rights are respected and to achieve equality. Since 1993, with its teams on the ground, our NGO has been developing programs to combat the inequalities faced by girls and, more broadly, all children. These programs implement sustainable solutions built in collaboration with local communities and partners. In France, it also conducts advocacy work with policymakers and raises public awareness about gender equality. The four priority objectives of Plan International France are: Protection: Plan International France contributes to the creation of a protective environment that respects their rights so that all girls can grow up and become emancipated (protection against gender-based violence in schools, genital mutilation, forced marriages and early pregnancies, forced labor, etc.). Access to inclusive and quality education and vocational training: Education and training are among the most powerful tools that allow children and young people to access their rights, understand them, and ensure they are respected. Plan International France works to ensure that all children can attend school and receive a quality education. Sexual and reproductive health: Plan International France works to guarantee universal and continuous access to sexual and reproductive health services, including in emergency situations, to protect the health and well-being of adolescents and to combat their dropping out of school. Youth participation: Young people must be able to express themselves freely, be heard, and take part in decisions that affect them. Plan International France works to ensure that they are informed about their rights and are supported to become actors of change.
