TheBoardroom Africa Foundation

Good governance ensures accountability, fairness, and transparency throughout our social, governmental, and business systems. On the African continent, women are underrepresented at every level in the workplace, especially in senior leadership roles. According to the UN, this type of unequal treatment of women in the workplace has cost Sub-Saharan Africa approximately $105bn and has significant implications on the utilization of the continents full human capital potential and achievement of its development goals. The Boardroom Africa was borne out of these realities. We champion female leadership on a pan-African level by building a network of women leaders who collectively dispel the myth that there aren't enough qualified women to support the growth of the continent. We help build role models at the top to change the way organizations are led through our educational content. We offer a board training program for women across the continent and to date, we've trained 64+ women. We also have built a community of over 1,000 women on the continent leading change and deliver open webinars, trainings, and meetups to upskill this network. Finally, we've conducted publicly released research on 13 African countries to assess the gender gap in their companies. We want to shift the demand by ensuring society realizes the benefits of increased female participation in leadership, and create an ecosystem of women who can go into the world and inspire others.

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.

The World Transplant Games Federation

Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.

Step Up

Step Up is a registered, community-based non-profit organization in Malawi committed to improving the health, dignity, and inclusion of children and youths with disabilities. Our mission is to ensure that every child, regardless of their physical or developmental condition, has the opportunity to live a full, independent, and joyful life. Malawi faces a severe shortage of rehabilitation services, with fewer than 40 public physiotherapy clinics serving over 20 million people. This shortage leaves countless children with disabilities without access to essential support. Founded in 2019 and formally registered in 2021, Step Up was created in response to this urgent gap in care. We focus especially on reaching children in low-income, high-need communities like Ndirande Township in Blantyre, where public services are extremely limited. Step Up delivers core community-based rehabilitation (CBR) services that include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, caregiver training, psychosocial support, and inclusive early childhood development. We run a free physiotherapy and rehabilitation center in Ndirande, currently serving over 40 children and youths with disabilities. Our team includes volunteer physiotherapists, an occupational therapist, and a social worker. All of us share a commitment to working closely with families and caregivers - because we believe that sustainable impact starts at the community level. But our mission goes beyond therapy. We are passionate about advocacy, inclusion, and rights. Our work seeks to break the stigma surrounding disability and to build a society that not only supports but embraces diversity. We raise awareness about disability rights, promote access to education, and empower parents - especially mothers of children with disabilities - with knowledge, confidence, and tools to support their children. In the long term, Step Up is working to create a network of free rehabilitation centers in underserved rural and urban areas across Malawi. Our vision is to be a national model of inclusive, grassroots healthcare - ensuring that no child with a disability is left behind due to poverty, geography, or stigma. At its core, Step Up's mission is about giving children with disabilities the chance to live and enjoy life like any other child. We are building a world where their potential is not only recognized but fully supported - where inclusion is not a favor, but a right.
