VSO

VSO is a leading international development charity based in the UK, dedicated to fighting poverty and improving education in some of the world’s most disadvantaged communities. Established in 1961, VSO has a rich history of mobilising skilled volunteers to share their expertise and make a tangible difference in the lives of others.

Our core mission is to empower local communities through sustainable development initiatives that focus on education, health, and livelihoods. We believe that by equipping individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge, we can create lasting change that benefits entire communities.

VSO operates in various countries across Africa and Asia, working closely with local partners to ensure that our projects are culturally relevant and effectively address the needs of the communities we serve. Our volunteers come from diverse backgrounds, bringing a wealth of experience in fields such as education, healthcare, and business.

Core Activities:

• Education: We work to improve access to quality education for children and young people, ensuring they have the opportunity to learn and thrive.
• Health: Our health initiatives focus on enhancing healthcare services and promoting healthy practices within communities.
• Livelihoods: We support economic development by helping individuals gain skills and access to resources that enable them to secure sustainable livelihoods.

At VSO, we are committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect, valuing the contributions of every individual. Our vision is a world where everyone has the opportunity to live a fulfilling life, free from poverty and inequality.
