Additional Information
Our organisation in 2025 has undergone a change of legal status, from an association to an international non-profit association (IVZW). As a result of this transformation, the organisation in its current legal form has not yet closed its first financial year. Consequently, no financial statements are available for the present reporting period. The organisation commits to providing the required financial data and submitting the first set of financial statements once the initial financial year of the IVZW has been completed and duly approved.
