We believe that people are the answer to making long-lasting change happen. Watch this video to see how standing shoulder to shoulder with the world’s poorest and most marginalised communities can help build a fairer world.
Thank you for taking time to watch this video. I hope you feel inspired by how we can build a better, fairer world if we work together.
How VSO works
We know that simply sending money can’t make the kind of lasting changes we all want to see. So, VSO does things differently. We work through volunteers to empower the most marginalised and left-behind communities. Working together, side by side, they provide the knowledge and opportunities to make communities stronger.

Our work
We fight inequality not by sending aid, but by working through volunteers and partners to create long-lasting change for some of the world’s most marginalized communities.
