Dear VSO supporters
I’d like to send this short notice of sincere thanks for the hard work you have done over the past year. I have huge admiration for people who have turned compassion for the billions of children, women and men who live abject poverty in developing countries, into practical support for changing those lives...

VSO Christmas concert - rasied £30,000
A big thank you to all our supporters who joined us for our Christmas concert at St Martin-in-the-Fields on 11 December. The concert has raised £30,000 for our education work around the world. Special thanks to George Alagiah and Sue Rogers, who read pieces by Maya Angelou and TS Eliot, and to our sponsor, NASUWT.
Stars of Africa - raised just short of £600,000!
Thank you to everyone who came and supported VSO's grand finale for our 50th anniversary - 'Stars of Africa' at the Royal Albert Hall. This was a fantastic event that raised just short of £600,000 for VSO's education work in Africa - a really significant amount in difficult fundraising times. Much of this income was due to the support from our generous sponsors: The StratREAL Foundation, Tullow Oil, DHL Express, NASUWT, De Beers and Old Mutual, from a hard-working committee who helped to organise the dinner following the concert, and due to having a sold out show.

Help Women Help The World
Women are the world’s greatest untapped resource for development. Healthy, educated, empowered women generate money for their communities and bring up children who survive and thrive. But discrimination still holds back millions of women from fulfilling their potential.
