For children and young people, it is extremely important so that they can take positive experiences with them into adulthood. Our courses are about finding joy again, often because the individual has not found himself in a traditional sports activity. In order to be able to exercise regularly, it is essential that it is fun. Our goal is to create joy through movement in an environment where we try to minimize all external factors that can cause anxiety or create a negative experience. We adapt the exercise for each person, because if the interest in moving is there, everyone deserves to experience the joy that can come with it. Our goal is to be that platform.Empower Nepali Girls - Íslandsdeild

Klúbburinn Geysir starfar eftir hugmyndafræði Clubhouse International sem snýst um að efla hæfileika og styrk þeirra sem eiga eða hafa átt við geðræn veikindi að stríða. Með því að gefa hverjum og einum tækifæri til að nýta sínar sterku hliðar þjálfast viðkomandi til fjölbreyttrar þátttöku í samfélaginu. Í störfum innan Klúbbsins Geysis er lögð áhersla á stuðning og virðingu og horft á styrkleika í stað þess að einblína á sjúkdóminn eða það sem hamlar. Allir sem eiga eða hafa átt við geðræn veikindi að stríða geta orðið félagar í Klúbbnum. Nánari upplýsingar á kgeysir.isIcelandic Childhood Cancer Parent Organization

UN Women er eina stofnun Sameinuðu þjóðanna sem vinnur að jafnrétti kynjanna og eflingu kvenna. UN Women styrkir verkefni sem miða að því að binda endi á ofbeldi gegn konum, draga úr fátækt og að efnahagslegri og pólitískri valdeflingu auk þess að veita konum sjálfsögð mannréttindi. UN Women vinnur eftir þeirri hugmyndafræði að þegar konur eru heilbrigðar, menntaðar og þátttakendur í hagkerfinu nái ávinningurinn til barna þeirra, samfélaga og þjóða. Stofnunin treystir alfarið á frjáls framlög frá ríkisstjórnum, fyrirtækjum og einstaklingum.Feral cats
