Your donation can make a huge impact! 🥰 The story of Raili and Aasa. Raili has been a supporter of Mondo’s Brilliant Fund since 2010—almost from the very beginning of the initiative. A year ago, Raili spoke on a radio show about her journey, including her experience supporting children through the Brilliant Fund. She spoke with such love and enthusiasm that it completely captivated Aasa, who happened to be listening at home. Raili describes herself as a "behind-the-scenes player" who doesn’t seek the spotlight. Speaking about her journey on the radio was a big challenge for her, but her desire to share her experience of supporting children in Ghana was even greater. Raili thought to herself that if even one person was inspired by her interview, it would all be worth it. There were certainly many inspired listeners, but it was Aasa who decided she had to meet the amazing woman she had heard on the radio. Their first meeting took place at Gustav Café, and both of them described it the same way: “We didn’t know each other, but from the very first moment, we recognized each other!” That moment marked the beginning of Aasa’s journey as a Brilliant Fund supporter. Thanks to her, Demnis, a student in Kenya, is now one step closer to fulfilling his dream of becoming a teacher. The Brilliant Fund provides students with essential school supplies, including uniforms and learning materials. It also supports larger initiatives, from setting up IT classrooms to building weatherproof school kitchens. Aasa strongly believes in the idea that “you reap what you sow.” For her, it’s important to know that we can leave a meaningful mark on someone else’s life—that we can truly help. Today, Raili and Aasa have a tradition of meeting up every month over coffee and cake, catching up on life, and enjoying heartfelt conversations. Their bond has grown into a true friendship! ♥️ You, too, can become a Brilliant Fund supporter. And in addition to gaining a friend in Mondo’s partner country, you might find an unexpected friendship right here at home! 🤗 👉 https://lnkd.in/dph-2xpa

📱💧 Kumb oleks sinu jaoks suurem väljakutse – veeta 24 tundi ilma internetita või ilma puhta kraaniveeta? 🤔 Digimaailm on saanud meie elu lahutamatuks osaks, kuid samal ajal elab maailmas miljoneid inimesi, kellel puudub ligipääs internetile ja digioskustele. See loob süveneva digilõhe, mis suurendab juba eksisteerivat sotsiaalset, hariduslikku, kultuurilist ja majanduslikku ebavõrdsust. Mondo toetab kogukondi Ugandas, Liibanonis ja mujal, aidates neil omandada digioskusi ja luua paremaid võimalusi tulevikuks. Kas sina suudaksid ette kujutada elu ilma internetita? 🌍💻 Loe artiklist lähemalt, kuidas digilõhe mõjutab elusid ja mida saame selle vähendamiseks teha! 👇 https://lnkd.in/d6T2RqSW Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV) #Fromthepeopleofestonia EdTech Estonia Julia Gerda Sokk

Join our team! We are looking for a communication specialist in Ukraine.

For almost two years now streets across Georgia have been filled with people who are fighting for their democratic European future and their civil and political rights. Peaceful protests organised and led by the Georgian civil society have been a beacon of hope and courage, with the underlying idea to fight for the Georgian pro-European aspirations. However, concerns over the government's increasing authoritarian tendencies and its perceived drift away from European course and democratic norms have led many locals to the point where they feel that they have “nothing left to lose”. Mondo’s partner organisation World of Tolerance (WoT), with whom we organised the first Opinion Festival in Tbilisi, has not been left untouched by the newly established laws and ongoing protests. On the contrary, everybody we have ever worked with in Georgia and who we consider our Georgian friends have been protesting since late October 2024. Some of them are leading and coordinating those protests in various cities. 🇬🇪 Mondo is pleased to announce that in the next Mondo Academy we will host one of our friends from Georgia, leader of World of Tolerance and have a talk with him on the following topics:  - Protesting for what? Why? - What it means to be every single night on the streets of Tbilisi or Batumi or Kutaisi for more than 40 days already?  - What is happening behind the scenes?  - Do they have a plan on how to overthrow the current regime? Can it be really done by peaceful means?  - What it means to be an activist during times like these? - What will the future hold for Georgia in their eyes?  - How can we support them? 🔴 The free event will take place in Mondo and will be held in English.  🔴 We will be having Georgian snacks. 🔴 Please let us know if you will attend the event here: https://lnkd.in/d4PruhxG 👉 Facebook event: https://lnkd.in/dNDKnUSq

"Women who work earn 25–30 percent less than their male colleagues for the same job." Since 2001, Estonia has alternated between supporting and not supporting Armenia, a country with a population of 2.9 million. Over nearly a quarter of a century, Armenia has danced its own unique dance, with steps sometimes moving closer to Europe and then drifting away again. This has also influenced Armenia's status as a target country for Estonia's development cooperation, writes Iti Aavik, Mondo's Armenia Project Manager. 👉 Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/dPvnT_z4 Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV) #FromThePeopleofEstonia

Mondo provides mental health diagnostics as well as psychological and psychiatric counseling for Ukrainians in Ukraine and Estonia. 🇺🇦🤝🇪🇪 In November, we held a two-day seminar in Ukraine with mental health specialists and partners who help deliver online mental health support to the people of Ukraine. During the seminar, we reflected on the past year and discussed plans for the future. Here are some key takeaways from the meeting: 🔹 The growing number of consultations highlights the necessity of the service. In recent months, the demand for counseling has risen sharply in both Estonia and Ukraine. 🔹 Specialists are highly dedicated and strongly believe in the importance of this online service. 🔹 The war has impacted everyone and significantly deepened mental health challenges. People are now more aware and willing to seek help. Compared to pre-war times, when seeking support was less common, the stigma around this topic has noticeably decreased. 📌 Share information about free mental health support for Ukrainians in Estonia: https://documental.ee/uk/ #standwithukraine DocuMental Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia U.S. Embassy Tallinn, Estonia
