ESC-HUMAID-2025-VOLUN-101250675

14/09/2024 - 14/09/2026

Financed by the European Comission, through the European Solidarity Corps – Humanitarian Aid program

The project aims to diminish the educational gap of disadvantaged children and youth from Vietnam and Thailand poorer and at-risk regions, while bringing front and center at the same time the discussion of gender equality. The method of approach is that of peer-to-peer support in education, starting from the example of the international volunteers’ actions, that later will be translated to the local youth, becoming a snowball effect of active involvement and solidarity among youth and furthermore among community members.

The project pursues several specific objectives.

  • Untitled design (18) It seeks to capacitate 40 volunteers with the competencies needed to actively engage in their sending communities and contribute to addressing the educational needs of disadvantaged children and youth.
  • Untitled design (18) In the hosting communities, it aims to capacitate 15 volunteers per community to work directly with local youth through peer-to-peer educational support methods, strengthening community-based learning initiatives.
  • Untitled design (18) In parallel, UNITY works with 100 children per hosting community, equipping them with language, digital, and soft skills to support their educational development, reduce school dropout rates, and improve their opportunities on the labour market.
  • Untitled design (18) Beyond direct educational activities, the project contributes to building a network of prepared NGOs capable of addressing educational inequalities through the EQUIP approach, with a particular focus on supporting girls and young women in accessing quality education.
  • Untitled design (18) Additionally, UNITY aims to raise awareness by 25% on the importance of community involvement in ensuring quality education and reducing gender disparities in access to education and future employment opportunities.
