Mondo has been working in Kenya since 2010, supporting rural communities and people living in refugee camps. We work to ensure dignified livelihoods, access to quality education, and strengthen communities ability to adapt to the impacts of climate change.<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Although Kenya\u2019s middle class is growing, the country continues to face high income inequality, widespread unemployment, and poverty. Access to quality education and healthcare remains uneven, particularly in rural areas. About 32.3% of the population<\/a> relies on agriculture as their main source of income and food, making them especially vulnerable to climate change, which has disrupted food and water supplies and increased hunger and disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

In partnership with local and international organisations, Mondo focuses on solutions that improve children\u2019s access to quality education, strengthen the livelihoods of women and smallholder farmers, and help bridge the digital gap. Examples of Mondo\u2019s specific activities in Kenya can be found below.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Kenya, Mondo\u2019s work is supported by the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV), the Environmental Investment Centre, and private donors. The deployment of Mondo volunteers in Kenya is funded by the European Commission.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”flag”][vc_single_image image=”45140″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mon_activities act_cats=”929842″ read_more=”DETAILS” title=”Projects in Kenya”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mon_news post_cats=”33,929860″ read_more=”READ MORE” max_posts=”4″ max_years=”5″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Right to Quality Education in Kenya<\/h4>\n

Mondo supports access to quality education through targeted projects. In 2024, we built new toilets for girls at Kolungi Primary School in Kisumu County, destroyed by floods. Without them, the school would have had to close.<\/p>\n

Each January, around 150 children in Western Kenya begin the school year with Mondo\u2019s support. Private donations cover school fees, uniforms, and learning materials for approximately 100 primary school students, including children with special needs, and 50 secondary school students. Up-to-date information and how to join the Mondo Brilliant Fund<\/a> are available on Mondo\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Digital Skills to Bridge Inequality<\/h4>\n

Mondo\u2019s digital competencies programme reduces the digital gap and supports equal opportunities. In Kenya, a 2023 training program equipped teachers with digital skills and confidence to use technology in the classroom.<\/p>\n

In Nairobi\u2019s Dandora slum, over 250 young people received digital skills training<\/a> in 2022, boosting their chances to find jobs or start a business. This was done in cooperation with Finn Church Aid.<\/p>\n

Solar-powered mobile learning centers in Kakuma Refugee Camp<\/a> provide electricity and digital access. Two centers serve all residents, while a third school-based center functions as an IT classroom for over 2,800 students.<\/p>\n

Volunteers Empowering Local Communities<\/h4>\n

Since 2012, Mondo volunteers have strengthened communities in Kenya<\/a> on gender equality, education, agriculture, entrepreneurship, and healthcare.<\/p>\n

For example, in Shianda, volunteers helped to form a Gender Ambassadors group to raise awareness about inequality and discrimination. Local women\u2019s groups, supported by volunteers, have started sewing businesses producing school uniforms and established agricultural cooperatives.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/sZognrqG7FM” css=””][vc_single_image image=”45136″ img_size=”large” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]Solar-powered mobile learning centers in Kakuma Refugee Camp provide access to electricity for 30 000 people.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1756802290538{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
