We are a team of passionate people working to connect our community to our environment, so that both thrive. WAI Wanaka's kaupapa* is to empower communities to take action to achieve measurable, enduring benefits by better understanding their water, their environment and their impacts. With almost every catchment in Aotearoa New Zealand at risk from human activity in one way or another, we believe that it will take all of us, working together, to safeguard and sustain Te Taiao**. *Kaupapa is the māori word for purpose. **Te Taiao is the natural world that contains and surrounds us - land, water, climate and living beings. Te Taiao also refers to the interconnection of people and nature, an eternal relationship of respect, reciprocity and interdependence.

Our kaupapa is to Positively Connect Communities. We do this by providing free mobile laundry facilities, warm showers and genuine conversation to people experiencing homelessness and hardship. It's simple but significant; we provide a space and service for New Zealanders doing it tough (who we call friends). In this safe space, they can connect with each other, with our volunteers and other service providers and supporters. While our vans provide a basic human need - clean clothes and showers, the power of this service lies in offering genuine connection and conversation. Each two or three hour shift has trained volunteers who provide both practical support (laundry and showers) and empathetic connection. This helps to reduce the social isolation felt by our friends who are often ignored and/or disconnected, in turn improving mental health and overall wellbeing. At each of our locations we partner with other service providers (eg. food and/or housing). One of the advantages to this is it gives us the ability to ensure our friends have access and knowledge about a wide range of additional services that can help transition them from a period of hardship.

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.
