VSO brings enduring change to poor and marinalised communities by bringing people together to share knowledge, coordinating their efforts to maximise impact.

With VSO, every donation you make brings people together to spark a chain reaction. You’ll help make life better not just for an individual or a family, but for a whole community.

Please make a donation via your local VSO website:

• VSO Bahaginan (the Philippines)
• VSO Ireland
• VSO Jitolee (Kenya and Uganda)
• VSO Netherlands
• VSO UK

How your donation helps

Our volunteers work with local partner organisations that serve people living in poverty. They help give children a future through education, improve the standards of care in hospitals, train poor people in the skills they need to make a decent living – whatever needs to be done to break down the barriers that trap people in poverty.

In doing so, they create a “ripple effect” – the knowledge and skills they share will be passed on from one person to another, so one volunteer’s contribution spreads far and wide.

Read about the impact VSO and its volunteers are having in our most recent annual report.
