The main mission of the "Social and ecological initiatives for Slivnica" foundation is operating the Day Center for Children with Special Needs in Slivnica. Day Center supports the socialization and integration of children through an individual approach tailored to their needs and requirements. Specialists at the Day Center care for, support and assist children in the process of building habits for independent living. Children in the social service have physical, mental and educational disabilities. The allocation is based on the current state and individual capabilities of each visitor. The groups are open, encouraging trust building, mutual aid, help only, empathy and sympathy. Children are worked with individually and in groups according to a previously prepared and confirmed weekly schedule and a discussed and adopted individual plan of needs. Children are placed in real life situations. They are provoked through the use of different methods and techniques to freely express their feelings and share different ideas. Our mission is to investigate the main problems and difficulties in realizing the goals in children's lives, to offer possible solutions, to provide space for their consideration and to identify actions for their realization. The team supports all children, helping them to overcome isolation, monotonous everyday life, fear of not being accepted and difficulties in communication. The aspiration of the specialists is to stimulate their abilities and confidence for a more fulfilling way of life. We work on a team basis, making a thorough assessment of the needs and capabilities of each child. Parents take an active part in setting goals. Families are also consulted. The goal is to achieve full cooperation with everyone who has a relationship with the child.
The main aims of the Society are study, conservation and restoration of flora and fauna in natural ecosystems, their preservation for future generations and raising public awareness on the problems of nature conservation.
Dare Association - Dare 2 Care Animals is established in 2014 in Bulgaria. Our mission is to help homeless animals, reduce their numbers on the streets of Sofia, Bulgaria and organize activities to inform people about improving animal welfare. We are an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) and NPO (Non-Profit Organization). We are not funded by any government, ministry, municipality or foreign NGO. All of our activities are based on charity and voluntary work. We rely on donations and volunteering for our activities and we welcome anyone who wants to help animals. We publish veterinary reports and expenses on our page, as well as many of our animal rescue stories. We specialize in cat cases. Street cats in Bulgaria are rapidly increasing and there is no governmental program for reducing their number. For 6 active years, we have rescued, neutered and rehomed over 300 street animals, worked with over 250 volunteers, and conducted numerous public events and initiatives on the topic of animal awareness and education. We have also consulted and advised over 2000 people to not abandon their pets and what to do when they find street animals. We also started an Education program (online and offline) "Dare 2 Change Lives" for giving good examples, better care, and understanding for pets. We reached offline more than 300 kids and grown-ups with information and educational events and training for improving animal welfare in Bulgaria. We regularly publish in social platforms online informative - educational posts about neutering, better pet care and what can be done more to reduce street animals number and improve animal welfare. The main objectives of the Association are: 1. Rescuing, healing, and rehoming street animals. Especially the wounded or abandoned ones which can't survive on their own on the streets. 2. Informing and presenting different opportunities for rescuing animals to the public. 3. Promoting and informing the people of animal rights and animal protection. 4. Organizing charity, informative and adoption events during the year. 5. Providing more care for animals with fewer opportunities and disabilities. Working on their adoption and acceptance in society. 6. Preserving the environment and protecting the animals, promoting the humane treatment of animals on the local and national level. 7. Supporting the compliance with all general moral and ethical norms of the European Union, working on achieving all of its objectives, integrating the different communities by preserving their uniqueness; protecting and promoting global values and cooperation between the different ethnicities and nationalities in the European Union.
The mission of the "Maxim Gorky" community center in the village of Eremia is to support the cultural and social progress of the local community. Through various cultural and social initiatives, the community center aims to enrich the lives of local residents and unite them around common values and interests. Key aspects of the community center's mission include: Cultural Events: The community center plays an active role in organizing diverse cultural events such as concerts, exhibitions, theatrical performances, and literary evenings. These events contribute to the enrichment of the community's cultural life. Library Services: The community center features a library where people can borrow books or enjoy reading in a comfortable environment. This promotes literacy, knowledge sharing, and provides a space for intellectual growth. Cinema: The community center also houses a cinema that, unfortunately, requires restoration. The cinema is envisioned to be a future platform for screening films and fostering film appreciation within the community once restoration is completed. Preservation of National and Cultural Heritage: By conducting traditional events and studying local history and culture, the community center contributes to preserving and transmitting the valuable heritage of the community to future generations. Promotion of Active Citizenship: The community center encourages active participation of local residents in public life, motivating them to engage with societal and political issues and contribute to improving the local environment. Formation of Personality and Values: The community center serves as a space where young people learn about tolerance, respect for diversity, community values, critical thinking, and analytical skills. Thus, the "Maxim Gorky" community center in the village of Eremia becomes a hub for culture and social interaction, offering opportunities for literary engagement, cultural exploration, and community development. The presence of a cinema, though in need of restoration, holds the potential to further enhance the cultural experiences and entertainment options available to the local residents.
Humans in the Loop is a hybrid between a non-profit foundation and a for-profit social enterprise which has been working for the past 6 years towards the inclusion of refugees and conflict-affected people in the AI supply chain, as well as in the digital work field, through upskilling and paid remote work opportunities. Our shared mission is to provide a diverse group of conflict-affected and displaced people with access to career development support, upskilling, and remote work opportunities to train and monitor AI systems. We are active across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, and our work related opportunities are primarily focused on communities affected by armed conflict and are distributed with priority to countries where other remote online job opportunities are unavailable as for example Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon. In our additional partner countries Turkey, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Moldova, and the DRC, with upcoming pilots in Kenya and Uganda, we concentrate on upskilling opportunities, equipping people with freelance related skills and then further supporting them in applying for remote work on platforms such as UpWork through our Mictrofreelancing self-paced course. Our foundation has its own training platform where we conduct trainings in English, Digital Skills, as well as data annotation skills and remote work, and everything is available online. We have developed our own proprietary modules on topics such as bias in AI and ethical AI, Cybersecurity when working online, and data annotation techniques, as well as professional courses which are either instructor-led or self-paced on topics such as Digital Marketing, Intro to Programming, Intro to Graphic Design, or Intro to Business Analytics. To date, more than 500 individuals have completed courses on our platform. Now, we want to develop our course offerings further by developing new courses on generative AI skills and real-time monitoring of AI systems, performing red team testing on AI systems, and providing feedback for reinforcement learning. Many of our trainees are already working for our social enterprise as data annotators, working on projects related to image labelling, data collection, and real-time monitoring and edge case handling of AI systems. To date, we have provided paid remote employment to more than 1,100 people. Our goal is to ensure that they progress further in their careers in the AI field and to provide them with opportunities to access further employment on freelancing platforms, or with other employers. We have partnered before with Upwork's "Opportunity Unlimited" program in order to introduce them to online freelancing, and we also have a small-scale career counselling program. Now, our goal is to expand these career development programs in order to help our graduates join the workforce of the future and contribute to making AI systems more inclusive and mitigate harmful biases.

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.
