Since 1958 we've been sending volunteers to fight global poverty by sharing their skills and experience with people in developing countries. As a direct result of our work, there are now women and men able to make a living, children getting a quality education, AIDS orphans being looked after in their own community and disabled people
living full lives.
Sharing skills, changing lives
Make a donation and help us fight global poverty. Your donations enable VSO to send skilled professionals to share their knowledge and experience with people living in poverty.
Volunteering is one of the most rewarding ways you can make a real difference to people living in the toughest circumstances. Most people join us because they want to give something back and find they get much more in return.
Find out how we support disadvantaged communities by bringing their stories and experience to the attention of the public and decision-makers worldwide.
