The organisation reflects its members' shared concern for the future of humanity and the planet. The association sees its task as acting as an independent, global catalyst for change. The objectives of the Association are therefore: to identify the key issues that are critical to the future of humanity; to evaluate alternative scenarios for the future and assess risks, choices and opportunities through integrated and forward-looking analyses; to develop and propose practical solutions to the identified challenges; to communicate new insights and knowledge from these analyses to decision-makers in the public and private sectors, as well as to the wider public; to stimulate public debate and effective action to improve the prospects for the future of humanity and the planet. The Association's activities are guided by the following three complementary principles: 1. the need to adopt a global, systems-oriented perspective in analysing the problems facing the modern world, recognising that the increasing interdependence of nations and the globalisation of previously local problems create challenges that are beyond the capacity of individual countries. 2. the need for a comprehensive, holistic approach in order to gain a deeper understanding of the complexity and interconnectedness of both current problems and practical solutions, in political, social, economic, technological, environmental, psychological and cultural terms, which the association refers to as the 'world problematique'. 3. the need to emphasise transdisciplinary and long-term perspectives, which are all too often neglected by governments and other decision-makers, and to focus on those decisions, strategies and measures that will determine the fate of present and future generations. The aim is to arouse public interest and provide responsible decision-makers with a solid basis for formulating and implementing future-oriented measures. The association does not pursue any commercial purposes and does not seek to make a profit.
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.
The People for People brand aims to build a collective of decisive people who have founded or work at companies that care. From ESG managers to CEOs, these individuals are solution-minded, capable of making fast decisions, and focused on implementing impact at scale. When a large-scale crisis occurs and people are forced to flee their homes, they feel the responsibility to act. They are not experts in medical aid, construction or military operations - but they can tap into their businesses to deliver much-needed supplies, services and infrastructure quickly. When people are suddenly forced from home due to large-scale disasters, we call on our collective responsibility to help as many people as possible as quickly as possible - regardless of their nationality or background. We focus our eorts on the people that might otherwise be missed or fall behind. We pay special attention to young people and their families, directly asking them about their needs. United in our eorts, we aim to bring back humanity in crisis response.

Foundation Asian Raisins has been one of the leading organizations in combating racism against East and Southeast Asian people in the Netherlands since March 2020. We do this together with volunteers through three program themes: Storytelling, Action, and Community. Our Programs 1) Showcasing the diversity within East and Southeast Asian communities in the Netherlands. 2) Preventing, identifying, and taking action against racist incidents. 3) Creating a space where people from these communities can come together. With the goal of achieving an equal, representative, inclusive, and ultimately racism-free Netherlands. Our mission Asian Raisins fights racism against people of East- and Southeast Asian descent in the Netherlands. Our vission We fight for a country in which East and Southeast Asian people can recognise themselves as worthy human beings in every facet of society; not as a stereotype, second class citizen or laughingstock. In this country, East and Southeast Asian people could go outside without fear of being called names by strangers and racist comments would not be normalised as a joke. Everyone of East and Southeast Asian descent should be able to be proud of their roots, appearance and culture. In order to achieve these aspirations, an intersectional change of the system is required: in the media, politics, education and eventually society. Because no one else is doing it, we take matters into our own hands. We open the dialogue with governments, organisations and influential individuals. We take the streets to protest. We conduct awareness campaigns and rap racist parties over the knuckles. We will not wait any longer and claim our rightful place in The Netherlands ourselves. And you?

We believe no child should be part of war. Ever. Children have the right to grow up in peace, free from fear and violence. To develop their full potential and become the person they want to be. War Child is committed to improve life of hundreds of thousands children in conflicted areas. War Child helps them to process their intense experiences, dare to reconnect with other children again and build self-confidence. They ensure that they learn how to read, write, count and learn a trade. Besides that, they create a safe environment where children can build a stable and above all, peaceful future. War Child does this worldwide. From Colombia to Afghanistan. Not because they like it that much. But because children are entitled to it. That is why they offer psychosocial support, education and protection to refugee and vulnerable children in fourteen countries. Because every child is entitled to a place where they can play safely, learn and recover from all misery.
