Wadadee cares Conception: Mission & Vision Wadadee Cares is a non-profit organisation supporting charitable institutions in Windhoek, Namibia, in the location of Katutura. Our projects are primarily focused on benefiting orphans and vulnerable children, to ensure a better future not only for the children but also for Namibia at large. Our goal is to finance the basic daily needs for these children in different local Namibian institutions, such as children homes, shelters, pre-primary schools, kindergartes, day care institutions and soupkitchens. This guarantees a healthy nutrition and medical care, which are basics for a regular daily life, as well as safety and security, housing and warmth and care. Additionally, Wadadee cares focuses on ensuring sustainable investment in the children and their environment to give them education, health and security for their future. Future-oriented support is particularly important in the field of education, as we at Wadadee believe that education is the greatest equalizer and would break any future cycle of poverty, unemployment and diseases. We are trying to comply with the principles of sustainable development aid in our work in Namibia by not keeping our (partner) projects at the expense of the people of Namibia or future generations. Our mission requires social development that is ecologically compatible, socially fair and economically efficient.

Taghyeer Organization/ We Love Reading Program is an innovative model that provides a practical, cost efficient, sustainable, grassroots approach empowering communities from low and mid income communities around the world to create changemakers through reading. WLR supports the activism of local volunteers to increase reading levels among children 2-10 by focusing on the readaloud experience to instill the love of reading for pleasure among children to become lifelong learners. We aim to create system change. We create changemakers by recruiting and training adults and youth from local communities to provide read-aloud sessions for local children in safe, public spaces. Each year, WLR volunteers read to tens of thousands of children in public parks, community centers, mosques and other faith-based settings, nurseries, refugee camps, and other locales. We serve diverse populations and communities irrespective of gender, religion, social status, disability, literacy level, educational experience, etc. The training is either implemented in face-to-face settings or via our online platform to allow reaching wider audience of people wanting to volunteer and become reading ambassadors.

The Ben Raemers Foundation aims to end the stigma and burden that so often clouds issues of mental health by bringing awareness of these issues and suicide to the forefront within the wider skateboarding community.

We firmly believe that projects executed by community-led NGOs have the most significant impact on improving livelihoods and ensuring sustainability. NGOs operating on the ground possess the profound understanding of the challenges faced by the community and the environment. They work diligently and adopt solution-oriented approaches to tackle these issues effectively. However, a notable challenge lies in the fact that many community-based NGOs struggle to access private online donations. This is primarily due to the lack of financial and personal resources, as well as limited awareness about this valuable fundraising option. Our mission is to accelerate community-led change by empowering non-profit organizations with fundraising and supporting them with content creation for their fundraising strategies. We also provide online volunteering for NGOs, so they can focus on their impact-driven projects on the ground. We want locally operating NGOs to grow and improve their impact.

We want all children and young people to experience good education and participation - regardless of their starting conditions. That's why we find people who change the world. We recruit them to lead students to success and to work for a just education system. To this end, they are qualified and supported in our leadership program and, as fellows, gain formative experience in schools in challenging environments. During their two-year assignment and beyond, they become part of a global movement for equitable education.

In collaboration with local youth welfare services, professional social workers, and established artists, Turning Tables is empowering marginalized youth through innovative music and film programs.

Mission Statement Inclusion Diversity is the key - Pfeffersport: an inclusive sports club Why are there sports activities in which wheelchair users are not allowed to participate? When will I, as a girl or a gay man, finally be allowed to play football with equal recognition? How often are athletes racially discriminated against? And is it okay that poor people cannot afford certain sports? As organisers of our pepper sports family, we have the vision to meet the different sport and exercise needs of our almost five thousand members. The theme of inclusion is like a bracket in this. Everyone is welcome here and everyone should be able to do sport. We experiment a lot with alternative sport and movement concepts, for example parkour, inclusive fencing or wheel soccer. We organise activities explicitly for girls and women, where no one has to be afraid of stupid comments or role models. In the meantime, some inclusive football teams are kicking and queer groups are finding their way to us. We simply have a bit of everything and are proud of it. For some years now, more and more people with disabilities have been coming to us and we offer many sports opportunities, especially for wheelchair users. In spring 2015, we also opened our sports facilities to people who have had to flee or have been displaced. And we have also created a flexible contribution scheme for people with limited financial means. For us, it doesn't matter whether you are old or young; that's what intergenerational groups like the inclusive dance theatre stand for. We also don't judge whether you believe in a god or in which god, because what we have in common is respectful and appreciative interaction. PARTICIPATION NOT EXCLUSION is our approach to social integration. For us, as an inclusive sports club, there is more than just ONE way. We want to try out many things and implement them together with you. In the children's and youth area, we try to open our sports groups to ALL - explicitly also for kids with disabilities. In these openly designed exercise programmes, heterogeneous groups are easy to realise. In terms of the sports club as a whole, homogeneous groups, such as girls' sports programmes or sports groups of the same age and interest, are also justified. Because overall, it makes the Pfeffersport family more colourful. For us, inclusion does not mean that everyone has to do sport with everyone else. For us, it is not about egalitarianism, but about choice. Our vision is a diverse club in which everyone can find themselves with their needs, regardless of social status or group membership. For us, inclusion is above all a question of attitude. Exclusion and discrimination are unacceptable to us. We find it `NORMAL` to respect each other. We may have different lifestyles, needs and abilities, but that is precisely where we draw our strength from. Our focus is not on maximum performance and standardised movements, but on having fun together and whoever wants to can also "let the devil hang out" sometimes. In implementing this vision, we are of course dependent on external conditions. In addition to an open attitude and a welcoming culture, this also includes accessibility in structures and inclusive practices. Qualified trainers, hall time and sports equipment are prerequisites for this work. Sports policy at the state and district level has provided some impetus in recent years. However, the support is far from sufficient. We are therefore involved in various bodies, such as the Disabled Sports Association Berlin and the District Sports Association, and in 2014 we founded a network for inclusion in recreational and mass sports together with other stakeholders in Berlin's sports landscape. Many committed people in sports clubs and institutions look to our association because they are interested in exchanging experiences and want to explore new paths together with us. We are convinced of the idea of inclusion and our commitment is often voluntary.
