The UNITY Project is designed to strengthen educational support in disadvantaged communities through two international volunteer deployments:
Vietnam (July–August 2026)
Thailand (August–September 2026)
Each mission will involve 20 international volunteers working alongside local schools and youth groups.
Activities include peer‑to‑peer English, digital and life‑skills learning, after‑school tutoring, and community awareness initiatives. A strong emphasis is placed on preventing girls from dropping out of school and promoting gender equality.
The project aims to empower both volunteers and local youth leaders, reach approximately 100 vulnerable children per deployment, establish sustainable peer‑support networks using the EQUIP approach, and develop replicable tools and dissemination materials to ensure long‑term impact.
This call refers specifically to the Vietnam deployment.
