NRC's vision is a world where rights are respected, and people are protected. We work in new and protracted crises across 40 countries to ensure that those forced to flee are safer and can exercise their rights, quickly access the services needed to regain control of their lives and are able to become self-reliant and find solutions. Our focus is on populations and people affected by displacement, including IDPs, refugees, returnees, and host communities supporting displaced people. In Moldova, NRC's mission is to support displaced and displacement-affected people to achieve self-reliance on the pathway to obtaining durable solutions. We undertake this through five core thematic areas - Livelihoods, Education, Legal protection (Information, Counseling, and Legal Assistance), Shelter, and WASH. Protection is mainstreamed across our response. With displacement becoming protracted, NRC is committed to longer-term response solutions to support displaced people to obtain self-reliance and experience greater inclusion in existing systems, while retaining tightly focused humanitarian assistance for those with enduring basic needs. A partnerships approach in collaboration with local actors is a defining characteristic of our mission.

Vaga Lume Association is a Brazilian non-profit organization founded in 2001 grounded in the belief that investing in people is the best way to transform a reality. Its mission is to create opportunities for cultural exchange by reading, writing and orality, valuing the empowerment of people and rural communities of the Brazilian Legal Amazon region. Vaga Lume works in 160 rural communities (indigenous, riverside, roadside, rural settlement people or quilombolas - Brazilian with African descent) of 23 municipalities in the Brazilian Legal Amazon region, which encompasses nine federal states (Acre, Amapa, Amazonas, Maranhao, Mato Grosso, Para, Rondonia, Roraima and Tocantins), occupies 59% of the Brazilian territory and has 20 million people (12% of the Brazilian population). Despite the fact that education and culture are basic social rights, protected by the Brazilian Constitution and under human rights international treaties ratified by Brazil, its access and implementation in the Amazon region are very limited. It is one of the poverty zones in Brazil - with a GDP per capita 30% lower than the national value - where 42% of the population survives with less than US$ 5.00 a day. Due to the outstanding impact of Vaga Lume's work in the region, the organization is recognized by many international and national awards such as the Juscelino Kubitschek Award of Merit for Regional Development in Latin America and the Caribbean given by the Inter-American Development Bank (2009); the Millennium Development Goals Award, conferred by the United Nations and the Brazilian government (2005); the Vivaleitura Award, from the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education (2008); and the Chico Mendes Environment Award, given by the Ministry of Environment (2006 and 2008). In 2011, Vaga Lume received its most important recognition: the 4th place at the Intercultural Innovation Award, conferred by United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the BMW Group. As an awardee, in 2012, Vaga Lume was welcomed to the World Intercultural Facility for Innovation (WIFI), a network formed by the UNAOC, the BMW Group and the ten 2011 winners. Through this network, the UNAOC and the BMW Group challenged all winners to replicate and scale up their actions to promote intercultural dialogue and offered training, consultancy and institutional support to assist organizations to accomplish such results.

Rozowa Skrzyneczka is dedicated to addressing period poverty and promoting menstrual health education in Poland. Our mission is multifaceted: first and foremost, we strive to ensure that no individual is deprived of essential menstrual products due to financial constraints. Through strategic placements of pink boxes filled with free menstrual products in public spaces such as schools, community centers, and workplaces, we provide immediate relief and dignity to those in need. In addition to providing access to menstrual products, we are committed to raising awareness and destigmatizing menstruation through comprehensive educational programs. These initiatives include workshops and distribution of informational materials covering menstrual health, hygiene practices, and the socio-economic impacts of period poverty. By empowering individuals with knowledge, we aim to break down barriers of shame and misinformation surrounding menstruation. Furthermore, Rozowa Skrzyneczka actively engages with local governments, businesses, and other non-profit organizations to amplify our impact. Through collaborative efforts, we advocate for policies and practices that uphold the dignity of individuals experiencing menstruation and promote gender equality. Our organization operates with transparency and accountability, ensuring that donations and resources are effectively utilized to maximize our reach and support. At Rozowa Skrzyneczka, we believe that access to menstrual products and education is a fundamental human right.
