Interdisciplinary Diversity at Mondetta
Local and Global Community Involvement
Since Mondetta’s inception, we’ve always known that moving forward means giving back. We have a long history of supporting local philanthropic organizations and took those efforts global when we began working in East Africa, which is where our founders were born. Presently, we mainly focus on education by supporting a school in Uganda, an orphanage in Kenya, and contributing to the Business Council of Manitoba’s Indigenous Education Awards Program. By assisting the youth, we’re investing in the future.
We also provide further local support and assistance here in Winnipeg to the United Way, the Health Sciences Centre, and the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba.
Staff Volunteering Program - Canada
We provide our staff with a bank of 20 paid hours annually for volunteering with local charitable organizations and foundations. Giving our staff the opportunity to volunteer with local non-profits will strengthen our ties with the community and positively impact the lives of those in need. Plus, our team members have reported they genuinely enjoyed the experience of volunteering their time and efforts.
