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.

Yet, every day, billions of them experience unbearable cruelty. Putting animals first isn't just better for them, it's vital for us and for our shared planet. Find out what we can do, with your support, to end the cruelty and exploitation of farmed and wild animals. Together, we can transform the lives of animals across the world.

Leveraging technology to end social injustices

The Asociacion Protectora de Animales (A.P.A.) "El Refugio" was founded on December 2, 1998 and is a non-profit Civil Association that assists a population of 360 dogs and 40 cats. These animals arrive at this institution victims of accidents, serious diseases, old age and the most varied situations of mistreatment and abandonment. Once they are recovered, they are vaccinated and spayed or neutered and then given up for responsible adoption. Currently we have an average weekly intake of ten puppies and four adult dogs. Our mission is that all animals can find a family, but the reality is that many of these dogs and cats will never be adopted since they are left with sequelae, are many years old, blind, handicapped, etc. For these reasons, El Refugio is the only home that many of them will ever know and we work daily to give them the best quality of life possible. Over the years we have developed a series of strategies that allow us to take on this daily challenge, taking into account the responsibility we have with the animals under our care and in our community: Volunteer Program: They are a team of highly committed, dedicated and solvent volunteers who work on an honorary basis in the different activities of El Refugio (repairs, cleaning, walks with our dogs, socialization, among others). Space is limited. Godparents Program: aimed at those people who, although they cannot adopt, take responsibility for one or more of our animals by contributing a special fee for their needs. Educational Outreach Program: since the beginning, educational campaigns and guided tours for children and adolescents from different educational centers have been carried out, and we are in the process of developing a more ambitious educational project that will include teachers, teacher training students and the general public in order to deepen the awareness work related to animal rights, animal welfare, responsible ownership, adoption, etc. Adoption campaigns: these are fundamental pillars in raising awareness about responsible animal ownership and the importance of adoption. These campaigns are organized throughout the year and at various locations in Montevideo. Spay/neuter campaigns: we perform low-cost spay/neuter campaigns, as well as assist in spay/neuter campaigns in several other locations in Montevideo. We also spay/neuter as many animals as possible in the area, often free of charge since El Refugio is located in a critical neighborhood. Attention at the door: we offer first aid, vaccination and deworming at low cost or even free of charge to urgent cases in the area. Intervention, confiscation, and veterinary assistance in serious cases: in addition to assisting animals under our care, we also help by providing assistance and transfers for animals in the area when the owners cannot really afford it

RES NON VERBA ASOCIACION CIVIL (known as Civic House) is an international nonprofit organization that provides a space for creation and collaboration to boost and integrate high-impact civic innovation initiatives, promoting and supporting their sustainability. Civic House aims to gather a community of initiatives that use technology for social change, striving to make the Latin American region more equitable. Within Civic House, there are several initiatives as shown on its website, https://www.civic.house/en. All these initiatives share the same legal personality, as Civic House provides legal, accounting, and administrative support, allowing the initiatives to focus solely on impact. The grant we are applying for, in partnership with 3M under their 3M Impact Post-Project Support, is related to the Ada ITW initiative. Since 2017, Ada ITW has been committed to reducing the gender gap in the tech world by providing technology training to women and assisting them in their job integration process. Over the past seven years, we have trained more than 30,000 women, nearly 60% of whom are now employed in the IT sector. We offer a range of courses and bootcamps in technology, along with payment ease programs and full scholarships for women and femininities who cannot afford these courses. We collaborate closely with hundreds of social organizations in the region to facilitate job placement. As our training is delivered virtually, our reach is regional, only limited by language barriers. I would also like to note that the financial statements and legal documentation we will present belong to Civic House (RES NON VERBA), while the annual budget we will share pertains to Ada ITW internally.
