About VSO:

VSO is the world’s leading international non-governmental organisation that works through volunteers to create a fair world for everyone. In 2023-24, over 11,000 dedicated individuals from across the globe volunteered with VSO, bringing their abilities to support almost 25 million people in 36 countries. Our work centres on those who are left out by society – those living in extreme poverty or with disability and illness. Those who face discrimination and violence because of their gender, sexuality, or social status. Those who are at risk from disaster, disease, and conflict. But they are not passive beneficiaries of aid; they are the “primary actors” at the heart of our efforts. From their perspective, we define the issues, opportunities, and solutions that drive sustainable, locally-led change. These individuals are the key agents of their own transformation.
