Pasākuma apraksts

In cooperation with the community-based organisation Kongo Community Development Association [KoCDA], Mondo works in West Africa, Ghana, precisely in Kongo of the Upper East region. KoCDA has pioneered a unique humanitarian-based approach partnering with NGO Mondo that focuses on quality education, life skills, health, gender equality, child protection and building peaceful communities.
