Seva Mandir's mission is to make real the idea of society consisting of free and equal citizens who are able to come together and solve the problems that affect them in their particular contexts. The commitment is to work for a paradigm of development and governance that is democratic and polyarchic. Seva Mandir seeks to institutionalise the idea that development and governance is not only to be left to the State and its formal bodies like the legislature and the bureaucracy, but that citizens and their associations should engage separately and jointly with the State. The mission briefly, is to construct the conditions in which citizens of plural backgrounds and perspectives can come together and deliberate on how they can work to benefit and empower the least advantaged in society.

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.

We are committed to a fair and sustainable future for all life on earth. To this end, we support philanthropists and social investors who want to make a lasting difference in protecting the planet for future generations.

Carpathian Foundation (in Slovak: Karpatska nadacia) is a unique non-profit organisation and the only foundation in Slovakia with focus mainly on Eastern Slovakia - in the Kosice and Presov regions. We envisage a prosperous Eastern Slovakia as a place where people want to live, where individuals and organizations have accepted responsibility for their actions and their region, where they work to improve the world around them and where they respect each other, work together, help each other and form a better future jointly. Our mission is to lead people and organizations in the east of Slovakia to accept responsibility for themselves, their communities, their region and their future. Since its establishment in 1994, the Foundation has been providing financial support, educational and advisory services for active individuals and non-profit organizations aiming to make life in eastern Slovakia better. We are bringing innovative solutions to local needs in eastern Slovakia so that the people here can thrive and lead fulfilled lives. Moreover, we establish networks, share experience and build expertise of third sector organisations in Slovakia as well as abroad, mainly in Ukraine in cooperation with our partner Carpathian Foundation Ukraine. We are creating innovative ways to involve individuals and companies in the development of eastern Slovakia and we strive to raise as much financial support as possible for local projects and active people who work to make this part of Slovakia a better place. We extend successful approaches and initiatives from the east to other parts of Slovakia - positioning eastern Slovakia as a source of social innovations and a source of initiatives for inclusive growth, in Slovakia as well as abroad. The foundation's current grant programs seek to support development of the region of the eastern Slovakia in a variety of areas with emphasis on civil society and community development. In recent years, the Carpathian Foundation has been continually building its capacity and expertise in the area of inclusion and effective development of Roma communities, particularly in early childhood development as well as women social and economic empowerment through program UPre Women (www.uprezeny.sk/en). We have also been responding to urgent needs of socially excluded groups during the COVID-19 pandemic through Carpathian Foundation's Crisis Fund, enabling access to education during school closures, as well as during the current war conflict in Ukraine and the related refugee crisis through our grant program We Love Ukraine. The Foundation is also providing humanitarian aid to (mainly) Western Ukraine helping the situation of internally displaced people and vulnerable groups in cooperation with local partners including its sister foundation - Carpathian Foundation Ukraine. Over the last four years, the Foundation has been a member of the consortium of three foundations under the leadership of Ekopolis Foundation and in partnership with Open Society Foundation responsible for managing the Active Citizens Fund - Norwegian grants exclusively supporting civil society organizations in Slovakia. Carpathian Foundation is responsible for an Active Citizens Fund Programme's goal - strengthening support for vulnerable groups.

EHEES, Elephant Haven, European elephant sanctuary, is a sanctuary/retirement home for elephants from European zoos and circuses, which answers a legal need and requests from private owners. EHEES is a care center which offers the elephants a place for life and where their natural needs are respected and their diet is appropriate. It enables them to be re-socialized and rehabilitated in a protected environment. This is the true story of Gandhi and Delhi, Asian elephants, our two first retired residents in EHEES, the only elephant sanctuary in Europe. Indeed, in recent years, it has become both appropriate and necessary to create elephant placement centers in Europe. Private elephant owners, animal parks, zoos and other organizations may need a place for their elephant(s) to live. Almost all European countries ban wild animals from circuses, including France, where EHEES is situated. Bringing them back to their country of origin is not always possible. There was no place for housing the elephants in Europe. Retired elephants from zoos and circuses, like Gandhi and Delhi, our 2 first residents, have now a place for life. They, and the future other residents of Elephant Haven, need a lot of attention. Elephant Haven is expanding to be able to offer more elephants a place for life. Informative programmes about elephants and their behavior, in captivity and in the wild, will be organized to have a better understanding of elephants, as well as local fauna and flora. All this encourages a re-connection with nature and with all her creatures, to raise awareness and respect for the environment.
