MExoxo started in 2013 in Mexico with 2 women, expanded in the USA and Latin America supporting 1000 women and scaled up to 11 countries impacting 5345 women, as of today. Our mission is to empower, educate and connect literate and competent women (who have limited access to education or opportunities) via interactive and personalized methodology, aligned with the SDGs and focused on sustainability, social innovation, entrepreneurship, and STEM education. We offer our support through 3 main pillars: Empowerment that is performed by life-coaches and psychologists; Education on business and financial literacy that is offered by business mentors; Connectivity which happens via MExoxo's global network that offers women additional specialized education on their field of expertise to implement their projects through direct or indirect seed funding opportunities. The organization has educated 5345 women, of 14-55 yrs old, in 11 countries who have received $1M in value for their projects in actual money or growth opportunities. It should be underlined that MExoxo has recorded an indirect impact of 21,380 women as for every woman the organization empowers she supports 4 more within her family or community. Finally an important statistic is that 60% of our women participated have created or grow their own projects.

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.
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.
