VSO is the world’s leading international development charity that works
through volunteers to create a fair world for everyone. At VSO we pride
ourselves on doing development differently. We fight poverty not by sending
aid, but by working through volunteers and partners to create long-lasting
change in some of the world’s poorest regions. We bring key stakeholders
together to co-ordinate collective action, from local organisations to
national governments. Our programmes in Africa and Asia focus on health,
education and livelihoods, with an increasing emphasis on resilience, peace
building, social accountability, gender and social inclusion. We’re not about
delivering quick fixes, but instead we focus on long-lasting, sustainable
change that will improve the lives of generations to come.
