Why make a monthly donation?

As a charity focused on making a lasting difference, we rely on regular gifts from people like you to support everything we do.

With the proposed cuts to the UK aid budget, we cannot be certain the government will continue to support our work, putting a significant number of poor and marginalised people at risk.

Even before the coronavirus pandemic, many of the vulnerable families and communities we work with around the world were already living in hunger, poverty and ill-health. Now, because of coronavirus, they face even greater challenges.

Your gift can help protect poor communities now and in the future by:

training frontline health workers in infection prevention and control
helping children continue their education at home or in the classroom
providing mental health support for young people
raising awareness of domestic violence
helping small business owners adapt and continue to make a living.

When you set up a monthly donation to VSO you are helping people survive the crisis, as well as build skills, resources and knowledge to help lift themselves out of poverty.

Will you help make a lasting difference today?

Yes, I will donate monthly

The power of volunteering

A man stood smiling at the camera outside — Anup is a VSO volunteer in the Rohingya refugee camps.

In Bangladesh, Anup is helping vulnerable people in Cox’s Bazar refugee camp survive the crisis.

"As a VSO volunteer, I received training on safety and COVID-19. I was then able to train community volunteers from the camps."

"If we train them on the importance of hygiene and distancing, they will apply it to their children and families. It is the easiest way to reach the biggest number of people" - Anup Goon, Education Assistant in Rohingya Refugee camps.

With your support, VSO volunteers like Anup can make your gift go even further.

Please give what you can today to help make a lasting difference to more families.
