UKRAINE
Mondo is one of Estonia’s leading humanitarian and development cooperation organisations, that has been working in Ukraine since 2014, responding to urgent humanitarian needs, and also to strengthening resilience, dignity of vulnerable people, and long-term recovery capacity.
Prior to the Russian Federation’s full-scale war against Ukraine Mondo implemented development cooperation and humanitarian assistance programmes in Eastern Ukraine, particularly in Luhansk oblast. Our primary focus areas included education, digital competencies, and democratic development.
Since the full-scale invasion, Mondo has responded to Ukraine’s most urgent humanitarian needs where they are greatest. We support education in emergencies, with more than 200 schools benefiting from our programmes; provide winterisation support to the most vulnerable; deliver mental health and psychosocial support; and implement economic resilience programmes for internally displaced people and women. In the past four years, more than half a million people have benefited from Mondo’s work in Ukraine.
Mondo’s work is part of Estonia’s official assistance as we are strategic partner in humanitarian aid for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia and a long time implementing partner in development programs. We work in close cooperation with Estonian counterparts such as MFA, ESTDEV, Environmental Investment Center (KIK) as well as Ukrainian partners, local authorities, and international donors and frameworks, including OCHA coordination mechanisms, European Commission, GIZ.

Examples of Mondo’s work in Ukraine
Winterization Support and Safe Living Conditions
Winter remains one of the most severe humanitarian challenges, particularly for IDPs, elderly persons, people with disabilities, women, and children in frontline and high-risk regions. With our multiple programs Mondo has supported these segments of population and areas throughout the full-scale war.
Mondo has supported 90 accommodation centers for IDPs in Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk and Kharkiv oblasts with winter provision of winter repairs, heating systems and solid fuel. In addition, Mondo has renovated 2 centers for IDPs and two schools and supported with winterization aid and renovations close to 200 homes.
Through installment of 3 mobile crisis centres in collaboration with NGO Dobrobat, Mondo supported vulnerable people in Kyiv’s apartment buildings affected by the extreme winter cold in 2025/2026.
Mondo has delivered around 200 generators (with capacities ranging from 2 to 18 kW) to hospitals, schools, regional shelters, and evacuation hubs to help mitigate the impact of power outages and ensured that essential services could continue operating during critical moments.
Between February – May 2022 we delivered 350 tons of food aid to Ukraine and locally procured 5,500 food parcels, covering the daily nutritional needs of approximately 350,000 people. In addition 20,000 hygiene kits were distributed to people affected by the war.


Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)
The psychological impact of war remains one of the most serious and long-term consequences of the war. People in Ukraine need MHPSS support now and during the years to come.
Since 2022 with the funding from private Estonian donations, ESTDEV and OCHA-UHF we have continued providing mental health support, supporting over 15 000 Ukrainians with psychiatric and psychological consultations. These services help individuals cope with trauma, anxiety, grief, and prolonged stress caused by the war. We are committed to continue this work.
Special attention has been on children’s mental health, which we have supported through continued work with Ukrainian general education schools and school psychologists. We have provided MHPSS trainings for teachers, special trainings for school psychologists and equipped their cabinets with useful and modern tools needed for their work to be effective and inclusive.
Through the DocuMental platform, Mondo has provided over 9,000 psychiatric and psychological consultations with an online diagnostics system. This support ensures access to professional mental health services nationwide, particularly where services are disrupted.

Education Continuity and Support for Schools
War disrupts education, threatens intellectual capital, and places heavy stress on teachers and students alike. Mondo has supported Ukraine’s education system since 2014 and our activities in the sector have grown in scale. Currently Mondo has 161 general education schools and 45 Vocational Education and Training (VET) schools in our network.
Since February 2022, we have organized Digital Competencies and MHPSS trainings for over 6,000 education workers – school management, teachers and school psychologists from most of the oblasts in Ukraine. Out of these, 450 are teachers and school management representatives from VET schools.
In 2025 we have focused on the development of educational technology capacity to enhance the sustainability of modern and inclusive education in Ukraine, including in the VET sector, through developing an Educational Technology curriculum together with partners.
In the summer of 2024 Mondo began the “Easy Camp” educational summer camps, a unique and effective model for students from front-line oblasts and veteran families, that addresses learning loss while also providing psychosocial support. In total 300 school age children, mainly 7-graders, have attended the camps.
