📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Mondo is an Estonian organisation aiming to reduce global inequality. Mondo operates in 12 countries abroad and in Estonia. Mondo focuses on education/health, livelihood, environmental and digital competence programmes in partner countries, and global education in Estonia.
Mondo was established in Estonia on 12 November 2007 at the initiative of nine Estonian people of different backgrounds. They all shared the same feeling—Estonia needs an organisation which would enable cooperation with communities in lower income countries that would create concrete contribution opportunities for Estonians and raise awareness of global challenges. The word “Mondo” is in Esperanto and refers to a more equal future. Mondo associates boldly believe that the world can be turned into a more equal place and every little action is a step in the right direction.
Today, Mondo has become a strong and unique organisation—small on a global scale but big on the Estonian one. The 12 partner states of Mondo are Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Ukraine, Georgia, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Burma. In all partner states, Mondo cooperates with local organisations; it has its own office in Uganda and Ukraine. Mondo’s team is made up of over 35 experts in development cooperation, humanitarian aid and global education. Mondo also has a social enterprise called Mondo Crafts that supports Mondo’s communities in the world by selling ethical crafts in Estonia.

ℹ️ Additional information
This opportunity is part of the BRIDGE project (Building Resilience, Innovation, Development and Gender Equality), in which volunteers will have the chance to work on a common objective: empowerment and skills development of vulnerable communities, with a focus on women groups and enhance digital skills, participate in UN Women Summits and animating digital workshops.
The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
