NGO Mondo is an Estonian civil society organization established in 2007. Our organization works in three different fields: development cooperation, humanitarian aid and global citizenship education, with the main activities focused on improving health, education, and livelihood for the most vulnerable communities in the world.
In development cooperation we focus on education and the economic empowerment of women and disabled people. In humanitarian aid we help in reconstruction work in crisis zones, support displaced communities, and take initiative in disaster risk reduction. In Estonia, we educate the public, school teachers and pupils about global issues by providing materials, arranging school visits, and holding public campaigns.
In addition to that, we deploy expert volunteers in development projects and promote social entrepreneurship and responsible consumption in order to support our main goals. Mondo is a project-based organization with about 20 employees in Estonia and at least one local partner in each of our target countries.
Our mission is to support vulnerable persons and communities for self-subsistance and to raise the awareness of Estonian public about global problems and their possible solutions. Our vision is stable and caring world, where every person has the opportunity for dignified life.
Our work consists of: 1. organizing and delivering humanitarian aid (including rescue missions, post-disaster reconstruction activities and transition to development cooperation): latest humanitarian aid project in Jordania for Syrian refugees 2. managing and intermediating development cooperation: projects in Afghanistan, Ghana, Kenya and Uganda 3. public education and development education: Global Education Centre with materials and trainings for schools and youth organisations, school linking partnerships, youth film clubs etc. 4. educating its members and the general public on the issues of humanitarian aid and development cooperation: training centre
We can share our expertise and knowledge in development cooperation, global education and humanitarian aid to other members of the network.
Network provides information about Mediterranean region and opportunities for joint projects. One of our activities has been workshops on Islam and Arab world in Estonian schools which could benefit from the network. We have also organised friendship schools for Estonian schools in Africa and Afghanistan and would like to do that also in Egypt and Palestine.
