FoodBlessed

MISSION, VISION VALUES Co-founded in 2012, FoodBlessed is a pioneering hunger-relief AND food-rescue youth-led non-profit organization that seeks to provide an effective and efficient solution to hunger, while addressing the serious and growing problem of food waste in Lebanon, one meal at a time. FoodBlessed is the only community-based and volunteer-driven organization in Lebanon and the region that works with the civil society and strategic partners to reduce the number of people going hungry in Lebanon, while making sure no good food goes to waste. FoodBlessed is a non-religious and non-partisan humanitarian organization. MISSION - To unite and nourish communities across Lebanon through the power of food, social responsibility and volunteerism. VISION - Create a community which works towards making sure that the food insecure, hungry and homeless don't end up sleeping on an empty belly or feeling ostracized; that good food, which is usually wasted, doesn't end up in bins but rather in bellies; and that community members are given the opportunity to better serve their communities. VALUES - FoodBlessed firmly believes that food is a vital tool to supporting local communities, bringing people together and connecting us as human beings. That is why in addition to feeding empty bellies, they also use food to build communities, tackle loneliness and provide spaces for people from different backgrounds and walks of life to meet, share, and to make friends. That's why: -We put people at the heart of what we do. -We are inclusive and welcome everyone. By using inclusive language, we demonstrate respect in both our workplaces and in developing and delivering policies, programs, and services for people in need across Lebanon regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity, because at the end of the day we're all human beings and we deserve to be acknowledged for being just, above anything else. -We stimulate discussions; we create connections; we build communities. -We establish long-term and rewarding relationships with our guests, our volunteers, our partners, our suppliers, our supporters and our volunteers. -We make use of resources that already exist. -We work on rebuilding the dignity of those in need and restoring their confidence in their community. Instead of lining up for food, like in most soup kitchens, our guests are invited to sit down at our table where they are served their food by our Hunger Heroes. -We nurture our planet; we collect surplus food; we use spare local kitchens; we support communities to access available resources. We're innovative with what already exists and always look to tread gently on our planet. -We have adopted a zero-tolerance approach against any type of discrimination or harassment that is based not just on gender identity and sexual orientation but also on age, religion, colour, ethnicity, nationality etcetera. At FoodBlessed, when we talk about gender, sex characteristics or sexuality, we're not talking about preferences or choices. We're just talking about how people are. -We do it with love. Whether it is a meal cooked and served or a food parcel packed and delivered, it is always done with love. FoodBlessed's number one rule is "what is done with love is done well, so do it with love". Indeed, FoodBlessed believes in the power of communal eating and community solidarity in rebuilding the dignity of those in need and restoring their confidence in their community.

Humans in the Loop

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.

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.

Stichting Greenpeace MENA

GP MENA (Middle East and North Africa) is the latest organisation in the Greenpeace network that officially started in 2018. In the past three years the office has grown with 23 FTE staff distributed across the region. Individually and collectively, what we believe and how we see the world is reflected in our actions and behaviours and at Greenpeace MENA, we believe that a better world is not only possible, but that it's already beginning. We envision a world where a billion acts of courage can spark a better tomorrow for all, this optimism is what sets us apart in the region where many seem to have thrown up their hands in despair. Greenpeace MENA aspires to help build, and be part of a vibrant environmental justice movement that puts the climate emergency and a just energy transition high on the social and political agendas. We rely on traditional and digital campaigning to reach out and engage with more than 400 million Arabs at home and around the world - bridging the gaps between borders. As a relatively small team covering a wide geographical area, our success depends on making 'magic' happen, by connecting the dots, empowering local initiatives and telling powerful and inspiring stories. The monsters we face are apathy and fear, and the gifts we offer are knowledge, action and hope.
