🏢 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.

💼 What the programme involves

The project activities, implemented by CIVS Kenya, will take place in CIVS Resource Centers located in the Kano Plains region of Kisumu County, specifically at the Nyakach and Kuth Awendo centers. These centers are central hubs for community development and provide services such as ICT training, climate-smart agriculture, tree planting, and early childhood education. Many community members—especially youth and vulnerable children—lack access to digital skills and resources that could improve their employability and resilience. The project will focus on enhancing digital literacy and providing ICT-based capacity building for youth and children from local schools. These skills are crucial for expanding educational and employment opportunities, particularly in an environment where traditional income sources are increasingly unstable due to climate challenges.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation will be arranged at a shared rented flat within the region with a bathroom and toilet. CIVS will furnish the room with a few pieces of furniture and basic equipment for the kitchen and bathroom. The apartment will have electricity and water, though volunteers may on some occasions experience disruptions of these services. Volunteers will be taught how to clean their own clothes using their hands by our local mentors. Transport to the projects is by motorcycle. Transport to the market, and to Kisumu City is by public vans.

🍲 Food

Volunteers will prepare their own meals at the apartment.

ℹ️ Additional information

As part of the BRIDGE Project (Building Resilience, Innovation, Development, and Gender Equality), volunteers will work toward empowering vulnerable communities, especially women. Training includes skills development workshops, digital literacy enhancement, participation in UN Women Summits, and facilitating digital training sessions. Volunteers will gain hands-on experience in capacity building, stakeholder engagement, and social impact-driven project execution while refining leadership and communication skills.

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).
